Photo quests in Copenhagen

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

Copenhagen holds 13 quests across every category the catalogue keeps, with no single one of them defining the place: Art and Food are level at three quests each.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Cisterns. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other twelve 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 Copenhagen quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

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

Questions

About quests in Copenhagen

How many photo quests are there in Copenhagen?
13, across all seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Art (3), Food (3) and Nature (2). Among them: Nyhavn, Botanical Garden and Cisterns.
What is there to do in Copenhagen beyond the obvious?
One of the 13 quests in Copenhagen 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". Copenhagen holds one at tier 1, three at tier 2 and nine at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Cisterns, in Art.
Can you do all the Copenhagen quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 13 falls within 5.4 km of the middle of the Copenhagen 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 Copenhagen quests can you do for free?
12 of the 13 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 13 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 Copenhagen means one quest: Cisterns.
How do I prove I visited a place in Copenhagen?
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 Copenhagen is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Nyhavn 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 Copenhagen 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.
