Photo quests in Quebec City

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

Quebec City holds eleven quests across six categories, led by Food with three — though only just, with two in Art behind it. The one category with nothing in Quebec City 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 nine are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers eight 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 Quebec City quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

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

Questions

About quests in Quebec City

How many photo quests are there in Quebec City?
11, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3), History (2) and Nature (2). 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: Château Frontenac, Montmorency Falls and House of Literature.
What is there to do in Quebec City beyond the obvious?
2 of the 11 quests in Quebec City 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". Quebec City holds two at tier 1, one at tier 2 and eight at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are House of Literature and Îlot des Palais, which fall under History and Art.
Can you do all the Quebec City quests on one trip?
Most of them, with transport. The outermost of the 11 is 9.4 km from the middle of the Quebec City list, so the cluster in the middle is an afternoon and the edges are a bus or a taxi each.
Which Quebec City quests can you do for free?
9 of the 11 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 11 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 Quebec City means two quests: House of Literature and Îlot des Palais.
How do I prove I visited a place in Quebec City?
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 Quebec City is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Château Frontenac 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 Quebec City 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.
