Getting Started with City Exploration

This guide walks you through the complete city exploration experience — from finding your first city to earning achievements.

Step 1: Find a City

Browse available cities on the itemID platform. Each city has its own page with a map, trails, and active campaigns.

Select a trail and follow the route. Visit all stops to complete the trail and earn the trail completion achievement.

Check active campaigns on the city page and participate for extra rewards and unique experiences.

Step 6: Track Your Progress

Check your progress on the city page to see your visit count, completed trails, and badges earned.
