Photo quests in Berlin

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

Berlin holds 14 quests across six categories, with no single one of them defining the place: Food, History and Party are level at three quests each. The one category with nothing in Berlin so far is Beach.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Renate. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other 13 are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers ten 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. 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.

By category

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

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

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

Questions

About quests in Berlin

How many photo quests are there in Berlin?
14, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are History (3), Food (3) 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: Brandenburg Gate, Tiergarten and Teufelsberg.
What is there to do in Berlin beyond the obvious?
One of the 14 quests in Berlin 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". Berlin holds one at tier 1, three at tier 2 and 10 at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Renate, in Party.
Can you do all the Berlin quests on one trip?
Most of them, with transport. The outermost of the 14 is 9.7 km from the middle of the Berlin list, so the cluster in the middle is an afternoon and the edges are a bus or a taxi each.
Which Berlin quests can you do for free?
13 of the 14 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 14 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 Berlin means one quest: Renate.
How do I prove I visited a place in Berlin?
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 Berlin is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Brandenburg Gate 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 Berlin 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.
