Photo quests in Bruges

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

Two of the three quests in Bruges are art — more than half the city in one category, with the rest spread over one other category.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: 2be Shop. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other two are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers two 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. History here means places where something happened and the ground still shows it, which is also where the famous version and the standing version most often part company. 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.

Bruges is a short list for now — three quests is exactly the floor a city needs to have a page here at all. It grows when the pipeline publishes into Bruges again, and nothing about this page has to change for that to happen.

By category

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

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

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

Questions

About quests in Bruges

How many photo quests are there in Bruges?
3, across History and Art. The deepest group is Art (2). Nothing in Nature, Food, Beach, Sport and Party here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. They are: Belfry of Bruges, Groeninge Museum and 2be Shop.
What is there to do in Bruges beyond the obvious?
One of the 3 quests in Bruges is 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". Bruges holds one at tier 1, none at tier 2 and two at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is 2be Shop, in Art.
Can you do all the Bruges quests on one trip?
On foot, yes. All 3 sit within 300 m of the middle of the Bruges list, so what limits a day here is how many places you want to stop at rather than the distance between them.
Which Bruges quests can you do for free?
2 of the 3 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 3 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 Bruges means one quest: 2be Shop.
How do I prove I visited a place in Bruges?
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 Bruges is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Belfry of Bruges 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.
