Photo quests in Yerevan

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Yerevan holds ten quests across five categories, led by Food with three — though only just, with two in Art behind it. The categories with nothing in Yerevan so far are Beach and Party.

Three of them are tier 1 — finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other seven are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers three of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. Art covers the work and the building around it, so a mural on an ordinary street counts alongside the collection with a ticket desk. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Yerevan quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

The three quests in Yerevan the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures — the half of a city a guidebook has no room for.

Questions

About quests in Yerevan

How many photo quests are there in Yerevan?
10, across five of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3), History (2) and Nature (2). Nothing in Beach and Party here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Tsitsernakaberd, Yerevan Botanical Garden and Yerevan Cascade.
What is there to do in Yerevan beyond the obvious?
3 of the 10 quests in Yerevan are tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Yerevan holds three at tier 1, four at tier 2 and three at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Gata, Yerevan Botanical Garden and Dolma, which fall under Nature and Food.
Can you do all the Yerevan quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 10 falls within 4.9 km of the middle of the Yerevan list — walking and local transport, not day trips — so this is a list to plan a visit around rather than a reason to extend one.
Which Yerevan quests can you do for free?
7 of the 10 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 10 can be read and travelled to without paying anything — the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Yerevan means three quests: Gata, Yerevan Botanical Garden and Dolma.
How do I prove I visited a place in Yerevan?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Yerevan is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Tsitsernakaberd fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Yerevan sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from.
