Photo quests in Vaitape

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

Two of the three quests in Vaitape are nature — more than half the city in one category, with the rest spread over one other category.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Alain Despert. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other two are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers two of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

Nature quests want weather and daylight rather than opening hours, so the season decides more about a trip here than the distance does. 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 hillside has no door to stand in, so the quest is a point on the map and the photo has to be taken within 200 m of it.

Vaitape is a short list for now — three quests is exactly the floor a city needs to have a page here at all. It grows when the pipeline publishes into Vaitape again, and nothing about this page has to change for that to happen.

By category

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

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

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

Questions

About quests in Vaitape

How many photo quests are there in Vaitape?
3, across Nature and Art. The deepest group is Nature (2). Nothing in History, Food, Beach, Sport and Party here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. They are: Mount Pahia, Alain Despert and Mount Otemanu.
What is there to do in Vaitape beyond the obvious?
One of the 3 quests in Vaitape 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". Vaitape holds one at tier 1, none at tier 2 and two at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Alain Despert, in Art.
Can you do all the Vaitape quests on one trip?
On foot, yes. All 3 sit within 1000 m of the middle of the Vaitape list, so what limits a day here is how many places you want to stop at rather than the distance between them.
Which Vaitape quests can you do for free?
2 of the 3 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 3 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 Vaitape means one quest: Alain Despert.
How do I prove I visited a place in Vaitape?
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 Vaitape is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Mount Pahia 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.
