Its just you (and maybe some friends), no real pressure. Plus its an actual trek (ranges from in-city, to some caches are ones that need Scuba or moutain gear or whatever).
And with geocaching you've just got your GPS, a compass, and maybe a topographic map (if you can get one). None of this fancy cell phones with internet to tell you answers stuff;-)
Also good, if you're on the west coast, is the Go Game. Same theory, and as a veteran of 3 games, I can attest to the organizer's wit and the game's fun, though technical snafus have been common. They use public games to beta-test ideas, and make most of their money from private functions.

I still think Geocaching is more fun.
