Photo quests in Arizona What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around. Arizona holds 14 quests across six categories, led by Nature with five β€” though only just, with three in Food behind it. The one category with nothing in Arizona so far is Beach. One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: The Thing. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other 13 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. Nature quests want weather and daylight rather than opening hours, so the season decides more about a trip here than the distance does. 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 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. ### By category Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Arizona quests among them. - [History quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/history) β€” two in Arizona - [Nature quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/nature) β€” five in Arizona - [Art quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/art) β€” two in Arizona - [Food quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/food) β€” three in Arizona - [Sport quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/sport) β€” one in Arizona - [Party quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/party) β€” one in Arizona --- Tier 1 ## The unexpected ones The one quests in Arizona the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures β€” the half of a city a guidebook has no room for. - [The Thing](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJy5yyHKsO14YRRzUxxhXcQe4) A roadside question ends under glass History --- Nearby ## Cities near Arizona Ranked by distance rather than by border, because from here the next useful stop is often the one in the next country. - [Grand Canyon Village 7 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/grand-canyon-village) - [California 10 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/california) - [Denver 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/denver) - [San Francisco 11 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/san-francisco) - [Austin 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/austin) - [Dallas 13 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/us/dallas) --- Questions ## About quests in Arizona ### How many photo quests are there in Arizona? 14, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Nature (5), Food (3) and History (2). Nothing in Beach here yet β€” a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: San Xavier, Rincon Mountain and Cosanti. ### What is there to do in Arizona beyond the obvious? One of the 14 quests in Arizona 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". Arizona holds one at tier 1, four at tier 2 and nine at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is The Thing, in History. ### Can you do all the Arizona quests on one trip? Not as one walk. The outermost of the 14 is 420 km from the middle of the Arizona 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 Arizona quests can you do for free? 13 of the 14 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 14 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 Arizona means one quest: The Thing. ### How do I prove I visited a place in Arizona? 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 Arizona is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from San Xavier 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 Arizona 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/arizona.
