## Photo quests in Funchal

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

Funchal holds 31 quests across every category the catalogue keeps, and Food is the largest group by some way: twelve of them against five for Art.

Three of them are tier 1 — finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other 28 are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers 25 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.

Questions

## About quests in Funchal

### How many photo quests are there in Funchal?

31, across all seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (12), Art (5) and Party (4). Among them: Funchal Cathedral, Madeira Botanical Garden and Sacred Art Museum.

### What is there to do in Funchal beyond the obvious?

3 of the 31 quests in Funchal 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". Funchal holds three at tier 1, three at tier 2 and 25 at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Bolo de mel, Open Doors and Madeira Photography Museum, which fall under Art and Food.

### Can you do all the Funchal quests on one trip?

Most of them, with transport. The outermost of the 31 is 9.9 km from the middle of the Funchal list, so the cluster in the middle is an afternoon and the edges are a bus or a taxi each.

### Which Funchal quests can you do for free?

28 of the 31 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 31 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 Funchal means three quests: Bolo de mel, Open Doors and Madeira Photography Museum.

### How do I prove I visited a place in Funchal?

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 Funchal is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Funchal Cathedral 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 Funchal 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.
