Photo quests in Boracay

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

Boracay holds twelve quests across five categories, led by Beach with four — though only just, with three in Food behind it. The categories with nothing in Boracay so far are History and Art.

Two of them are tier 1 — finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other ten 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 beach quest is coast worth the trip in its own right rather than the nearest sand to a hotel. 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 stretch of coast has no address to arrive at, so the quest is a point on the map and the photo has to be taken within 200 m of it.

By category

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

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

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

Questions

About quests in Boracay

How many photo quests are there in Boracay?
12, across five of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Beach (4), Nature (3) and Food (3). Nothing in History and Art here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Lugutan Mangrove, Chicken Adobo and Puka Beach.
What is there to do in Boracay beyond the obvious?
2 of the 12 quests in Boracay 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". Boracay holds two at tier 1, two at tier 2 and eight at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Lugutan Mangrove and Diniwid Beach, which fall under Nature and Beach.
Can you do all the Boracay quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 12 falls within 4.2 km of the middle of the Boracay 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 Boracay quests can you do for free?
10 of the 12 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 12 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 Boracay means two quests: Lugutan Mangrove and Diniwid Beach.
How do I prove I visited a place in Boracay?
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 Boracay is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Lugutan Mangrove 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 Boracay 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.
