Photo quests in Nice

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

Nice holds nine quests across five categories, led by Food with three — though only just, with two in Beach behind it. The categories with nothing in Nice so far are Art and Sport.

Two of them are tier 1 — finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other seven are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers seven 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. A beach quest is coast worth the trip in its own right rather than the nearest sand to a hotel. 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 Nice quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

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

Questions

About quests in Nice

How many photo quests are there in Nice?
9, across five of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3), Nature (2) and Beach (2). Nothing in Art and Sport here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Palais Lascaris, Mont Boron and Socca.
What is there to do in Nice beyond the obvious?
2 of the 9 quests in Nice 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". Nice holds two at tier 1, none at tier 2 and seven at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are La Réserve and Gairaut Waterfall, which fall under Nature and Beach.
Can you do all the Nice quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 9 falls within 4.7 km of the middle of the Nice 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 Nice quests can you do for free?
7 of the 9 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 9 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 Nice means two quests: La Réserve and Gairaut Waterfall.
How do I prove I visited a place in Nice?
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 Nice is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Palais Lascaris 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 Nice 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.
