In a photo walk, participants receive an assignment to photograph something special or in a special way. Submitted photos are graded by an AI Judge and disqualified if they don't follow the assignment's guidelines.

The screenshots below are this example played for real, in Lisbon β€” 6 stops, about 2.3 km of walking end to end. Nothing here is a mock-up: the 6 quests from this page, dropped on 6 real places and walked through.

The wording at each stop is a starting point, not a script. Each screenshot below names the real place it was staged at β€” borrow the shape of the walk and write your own for where you are.

All 6 stops pinned across Lisbon. The participant is 42 metres from the first. All 6 stops pinned across Lisbon. The participant is 42 metres from the first.

A quest only opens once the participant is physically within about 30 metres of it. The brief appears on arrival and the photo has to be taken there and then.

Stop 1 as the participant sees it, opened on arrival. Stop 1 as the participant sees it, opened on arrival.

A completed stop pays the 300-point base plus whatever is left of the speed bonus. A completed stop pays the 300-point base plus whatever is left of the speed bonus.

Everyone's results land on the same scoreboard as they go, so a group spread across Lisbon can still see who is ahead.
