Snapped: Filming Of Cache Craze TV Show
They look crazed … but are the contestants in new Canadian TV show Cache Craze actually geocaching?
Toronto photographer James Hamilton captured these images as 9 Story Entertainment filmed its new geocaching-based children’s programme in the city’s Yonge-Dundas Square last Tuesday.
The 10-episode series is billed as a modern family treasure hunt, in which teenage cachers battle to win prizes in a series of geo-challenges. Host Ryan Horwood – pictured right in circus attire – was present during the public taping but there’s no sign of even one GPS unit in the stills.
On his Toronto Grand Prix Tourist blog, Hamilton wrote that the set “consisted of hundreds of coloured balloons hung on metal girders. Contestants jumped on pogo-sticks wearing spiked helmets to pop the balloons hanging above their heads.”
Filming has also occurred at Elephant Thoughts in the Ontario township of Collingwood, where the young hopefuls had to tackle a NASA-designed human gyroscope at the interactive science facility, according to spokesman Mike Purcell.
Cache Craze will premiere on the YTV children’s network in April next year.
