Argentina

## Photo quests in Buenos Aires

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

Buenos Aires holds 15 quests across six categories, with no single one of them defining the place: Art and Food are level at four quests each. The one category with nothing in Buenos Aires so far is Beach.

Two of them are tier 1 — finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other 13 are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers nine of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

Art covers the work and the building around it, so a mural on an ordinary street counts alongside the collection with a ticket desk. 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. 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 Buenos Aires quests among them.

Questions

## About quests in Buenos Aires

### How many photo quests are there in Buenos Aires?

15, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Art (4), Food (4) and Party (3). Nothing in Beach here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Pasaje Defensa, Palermo Woods and Teatro Colón.

### What is there to do in Buenos Aires beyond the obvious?

2 of the 15 quests in Buenos Aires 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". Buenos Aires holds two at tier 1, four at tier 2 and nine at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are La Bombonera and Steak, which fall under Food and Sport.

### Can you do all the Buenos Aires quests on one trip?

Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 15 falls within 5.0 km of the middle of the Buenos Aires 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 Buenos Aires quests can you do for free?

13 of the 15 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 15 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 Buenos Aires means two quests: La Bombonera and Steak.

### How do I prove I visited a place in Buenos Aires?

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 Buenos Aires is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Pasaje Defensa 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 Buenos Aires 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.
