Auckland holds eleven quests across every category the catalogue keeps, led by Food with three โ€” though only just, with two in Art behind it. One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Wintergardens. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other ten 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. 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 Auckland quests among them. - [History quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/history) โ€” one in Auckland - [Nature quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/nature) โ€” two in Auckland - [Art quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/art) โ€” two in Auckland - [Food quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/food) โ€” three in Auckland - [Beach quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/beach) โ€” one in Auckland - [Sport quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/sport) โ€” one in Auckland - [Party quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/party) โ€” one in Auckland --- Tier 1 ## The unexpected ones The one quests in Auckland the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures โ€” the half of a city a guidebook has no room for. - [Wintergardens](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJCQ6TugpIDW0RU_XfsaBVC0E) A fernery fills the gap between two glasshouses Nature --- Nearby ## Cities near Auckland Ranked by distance rather than by border, because from here the next useful stop is often the one in the next country. - [Sidney 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/au/sidney) - [Melbourne 3 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/au/melbourne) - [Vaitape 3 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/pf/vaitape) - [Ubud 9 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/id/ubud) - [Hawaii 13 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/hawaii) - [Boracay 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/ph/boracay) --- Questions ## About quests in Auckland ### How many photo quests are there in Auckland? 11, across all seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3), Nature (2) and Art (2). Among them: Auckland Museum, Wintergardens and Auckland Art Gallery. ### What is there to do in Auckland beyond the obvious? One of the 11 quests in Auckland 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". Auckland holds one at tier 1, one at tier 2 and nine at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Wintergardens, in Nature. ### Can you do all the Auckland quests on one trip? Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 11 falls within 5.6 km of the middle of the Auckland list โ€” walking and local transport, not day trips โ€” so this is a list to plan a visit around rather than a reason to extend one. ### Which Auckland quests can you do for free? 10 of the 11 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 11 can be read and travelled to without paying anything โ€” the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Auckland means one quest: Wintergardens. ### How do I prove I visited a place in Auckland? 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 Auckland is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Auckland Museum 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 โ€” upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Auckland 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. --- This is the Markdown rendering of https://getmap.travel/quests/city/nz/auckland.
