Photo quests in Da Nang

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

Da Nang holds nine quests across five categories, led by Food with three — though only just, with two in History behind it. The categories with nothing in Da Nang so far are Nature and Sport.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: Marble Mountains. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other eight are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers three 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. History here means places where something happened and the ground still shows it, which is also where the famous version and the standing version most often part company. 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 Da Nang quests among them.


Tier 1

The unexpected ones

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

Questions

About quests in Da Nang

How many photo quests are there in Da Nang?
9, across five of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3), History (2) and Party (2). Nothing in Nature and Sport here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Marble Mountains, Cham Sculpture Museum and Bánh Xèo.
What is there to do in Da Nang beyond the obvious?
One of the 9 quests in Da Nang 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". Da Nang holds one at tier 1, five at tier 2 and three at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is Marble Mountains, in History.
Can you do all the Da Nang quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 9 falls within 6.8 km of the middle of the Da Nang 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 Da Nang quests can you do for free?
8 of the 9 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 9 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 Da Nang means one quest: Marble Mountains.
How do I prove I visited a place in Da Nang?
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 Da Nang is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Marble Mountains 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 Da Nang 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.
