Photo quests in Anchorage What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around. Anchorage holds 24 quests across five categories, with no single one of them defining the place: Art, Food and Nature are level at six quests each. The categories with nothing in Anchorage so far are Beach and Party. Four of them are tier 1 β€” finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other 20 are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers 17 of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway. 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 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. 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 Anchorage quests among them. - [History quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/history) β€” three in Anchorage - [Nature quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/nature) β€” six in Anchorage - [Art quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/art) β€” six in Anchorage - [Food quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/food) β€” six in Anchorage - [Sport quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/sport) β€” three in Anchorage --- Tier 1 ## The unexpected ones The four quests in Anchorage the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures β€” the half of a city a guidebook has no room for. - [Musk Ox Co-op](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJ6bL3w4C9yFYRKMBbSlmaqBI) A shaggy coat hides the fiber used here Art - [Ulu Factory](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJCVOuGIi9yFYRLXdrPoRikys) A curved blade takes shape behind the glass Art - [Alaska Aviation Museum](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJExnfV029yFYRTYFt5lqdbNI) Some of its planes were built to land on water History - [Potter Marsh](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJiegrKMabyFYRoqO1De-dKXY) A busy highway borders a marsh full of birds Nature --- Nearby ## Cities near Anchorage Ranked by distance rather than by border, because from here the next useful stop is often the one in the next country. - [Seattle 21 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/seattle) - [Calgary 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/ca/calgary) - [San Francisco 11 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/san-francisco) - [California 10 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/california) - [Grand Canyon Village 7 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/grand-canyon-village) - [Denver 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/denver) --- Questions ## About quests in Anchorage ### How many photo quests are there in Anchorage? 24, across five of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Nature (6), Art (6) and Food (6). Nothing in Beach and Party here yet β€” a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Alaska Native Heritage Center, Earthquake Park and Wyland Whale. ### What is there to do in Anchorage beyond the obvious? 4 of the 24 quests in Anchorage 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". Anchorage holds four at tier 1, three at tier 2 and 17 at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Musk Ox Co-op, Ulu Factory, Alaska Aviation Museum and Potter Marsh, which fall under History, Nature and Art. ### Can you do all the Anchorage quests on one trip? Not as one walk. The outermost of the 24 is 49 km from the middle of the Anchorage list, which makes this a region rather than a neighbourhood: several are a day out in their own right and are worth planning as such rather than fitted in. ### Which Anchorage quests can you do for free? 20 of the 24 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 24 can be read and travelled to without paying anything β€” the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Anchorage means four quests: Musk Ox Co-op, Ulu Factory, Alaska Aviation Museum and Potter Marsh. ### How do I prove I visited a place in Anchorage? 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 Anchorage is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Alaska Native Heritage Center 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 β€” upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Anchorage 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/us/anchorage.
