Photo quests in Rotterdam

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

Rotterdam holds ten quests across six categories, led by Food with three — though only just, with two in Art behind it. The one category with nothing in Rotterdam so far is Beach.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Pompenburg Park. It is also the only quest here 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 Rotterdam quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

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

Questions

About quests in Rotterdam

How many photo quests are there in Rotterdam?
10, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3), Nature (2) and Art (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: St. Lawrence Church, Pompenburg Park and Kunsthal.
What is there to do in Rotterdam beyond the obvious?
One of the 10 quests in Rotterdam 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". Rotterdam holds one at tier 1, one at tier 2 and eight at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Pompenburg Park, in Nature.
Can you do all the Rotterdam quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 10 falls within 4.0 km of the middle of the Rotterdam 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 Rotterdam quests can you do for free?
9 of the 10 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 10 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 Rotterdam means one quest: Pompenburg Park.
How do I prove I visited a place in Rotterdam?
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 Rotterdam is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from St. Lawrence Church 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 Rotterdam 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.
