Well, this Thing can sure be a big time-eater! I tried out Puzzle Pirates, since I think Second Life would be overwhelming. I did peek at SL, but it seemed far too complicated for me to learn in a short period of time. In Puzzle Pirates I created a pirate named Tessargh and she learned to bilge and carpent (since I have 4 carpenters in my family it seeme appropriate) and I earned 81 pieces of eight while working on the ship. I was challenged to rumble by someone on board and I took them on. Since I didn't have much time to learn, I was easily beaten. That was enough for me to jump ship and head back to my bedroll and crate with my rat. :(
I can see how people would want to come to the library and use our faster computers to play these games. Heck, it took over 5 minutes just to load the game at home with my broadband access. I can also see why the kids talk to each other as they play. They need help figuring out what it going on!
As far as geocaching goes, I googled "geocaching RPG" for role-playing games, and stumbled upon a game by Jeep. I tried to register for it and play, but it seems to be defunct now. Here's a screencap from it:
