Photo quests in Geneva

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

Geneva holds seven quests across four categories, with no single one of them defining the place: Art, Food and History are level at two quests each.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Brunswick Monument. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other six are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers five 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 Geneva quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

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

Questions

About quests in Geneva

How many photo quests are there in Geneva?
7, across four of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are History (2), Art (2) and Food (2). Nothing in Beach, Sport and Party here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: St Pierre Cathedral, Botanical Garden and Broken Chair.
What is there to do in Geneva beyond the obvious?
One of the 7 quests in Geneva 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". Geneva holds one at tier 1, one at tier 2 and five at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Brunswick Monument, in History.
Can you do all the Geneva quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 7 falls within 2.3 km of the middle of the Geneva 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 Geneva quests can you do for free?
6 of the 7 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 7 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 Geneva means one quest: Brunswick Monument.
How do I prove I visited a place in Geneva?
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 Geneva is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from St Pierre Cathedral 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 Geneva 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.
