I removed this from the article: "A real-life example has started to appear in the last five years or so, due to the sudden popularity of GPS-capable devices. Called Geocaching, it's an outdoor treasure hunt where the goal is to find a small 'cache' of items hidden by a third party, who then posts the coordinates on the Web or publishes them through other means. When you find the cache, you're expected to take an item, leave an item, and sign your name and the date/time in the included logbook. "
Well, yes Geocaching is about hidden objects, but it hardly is a real-life counterpart of Hidden Object Games.
A better counterpart would be those little "spot the difference" puzzles typically in newspapers, especially the "kid's section", or - ripping of people's money - on TV , where they show two almost identical pictures next to each other and you've to find the little differences.
