Rate places that carry a tag, like Italian or Pizza, and you earn a badge. Keep going to climb four levels: Sampler, Taster, Expert and Connoisseur.
What are food badges on Mosey?
A badge in the Mosey app is a record of what you have rated. Rate places with a tag, like Italian or Pizza, and you earn a badge for that tag. Keep going and the badge climbs four levels.
The My Badges screen groups them as Cuisine, Place type, Meal type, Dietary and Occasion, with others for milestones, streaks, travel and dishes. Most badges start at five different places in one category.
How do you earn a food badge?
Rate a place and add its tags
Tags such as Italian, Pizza or Vegan say what a place is. Tags earn badges and help people find the place.
Rate five different places of a kind
A badge climbs when you rate different places that carry the same tag. Ten ratings of one place count once.
Climb the four levels
Sampler comes at five places, Taster at ten, Expert at twenty and Connoisseur at fifty. A level you reach is kept.
What are the four levels?
Food badges use the same four levels everywhere. Sampler is five different places, Taster is ten, Expert is twenty and Connoisseur is fifty. A level you have reached stays, even if a later count falls.
When you reach a new level the app shows a New badge screen, with a button to share your badge as a picture.
Where do badges show up?
Your badges show on your profile and on the My Badges screen. For three kinds of badge, cuisine, place type and dietary, a level also shows as a mark beside your name on a rating you tag with that kind, from Sampler up.
Meal type and occasion badges stay on your own profile and My Badges screen. They never show on a rating.
What is the badge holders line on a place?
A place can show a separate line that gives an average from the badge holders of one family. A badge holder is someone who has rated five or more different places of the same kind, so their view is earned rather than a one-off.
The line is not part of the star score. You can also filter a place's ratings to badge holders only.
What are Explorer badges?
Explorer badges count where you have rated across the map: provinces and territories in Canada, and towns, cities and neighbourhoods. The province badge starts at three provinces or territories.
What does a badge not mean?
A badge does not unlock a perk or anything to buy. It does not say that a place is good, and it is never a mark on a place. It is a record of what you have tried.
Why do badges count places and not ratings?
Because a badge shows breadth, not volume. Ten Italian meals at one place says you like that place. Italian food at ten different places says you know the cuisine, so that is what the ladder counts.
- Five, ten, twenty and fifty different places for each family.
- A level you reach is kept, even if a count falls later.
- A badge is a record of what you have tried. It unlocks no perk.
