Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Is the plan for the full release of Fetchworld ©️™️ to keep the emoji, or perhaps use custom graphics? You could unleash the full creative force of Fetchies to help design (so, not me, and perhaps not the dolphin creator!)

I'd still like an option to see Fetchworld in the... um... flesh instead of Earth, could give some personality to those castles we'll be scrapping over. Or we could name and rename the castles like warring feudal lords.

Still thoroughly enjoying this game. At some point it's going to make me start walking snakey paths and getting strange looks from people.

Once I've done a lot of that, it seems a shame to lose it so I like the hinted at idea of there being ways for it to come back in some circumstances. I also think it would be good if there was peril to going into the fog, not just an unknown but greater risk.
As someone with Macbeth's 'blasted heath' in my grid, could we have witches with cauldrons spouting new fog unless dealt with?

That sounds amazing. I agree that the existence of fog is somewhat a motivator to clear it. I like this idea to create fog (and the idea of monsters in the fog)

Err, no it doesn't? In the pop-up, I get the description, the owner and the coordinates.

Some of us definitely see it :-) (and I checked a castle owned by someone else too)

When castles get flipped I think they start with no value, until bricks are delivered (a bit of a pain, you have to have two activities through a castle to "secure" it.

Might be better if you could deposit some bricks when you first flip the castle.

Ok, I have finally found a castle. I paid £4 to visit. Good value - English Heritage charge more...

Did I try and fail to seize it? Have I lost any of my dynamite in doing so? (I'm not sure I have). Or do I need another item to attack as well as my dynamite?

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
I have decided to build a new version of Fetchpoint, and for now at least I am calling it Fetchworld.

The original Fetchpoint was first launched in 2011 - and I don't know of anything else that was like it at the time. The closest thing I was aware of at the time was geocaching - but nothing virtual like this. It predated Pokemon Go by five years :-)

As with any code project, what started as a relatively clean chunk of code has taken on various bug fixes, workarounds and the code equi...
