POAP Challenges are location-based games that turn exploration into a collectible journey. Each challenge is built around a set of curated places—sometimes iconic landmarks, sometimes wonderfully specific hidden gems—where you can claim a POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol) as a digital keepsake. If you enjoy scavenger hunts, geocaching, or city quests, the format will feel instantly familiar: a map, a mission, and a series of stops that add up to a story you can keep.

The core idea is straightforward: go somewhere, be there, and capture the moment. Using the POAP Home app, participants claim tokens on-site, which makes each POAP more than an image—it is proof of presence tied to an experience. These challenges are designed to be approachable and flexible: you can participate casually, collecting a few locations at your own pace, or you can treat it as a true hunt and pursue the full set with intention.

Most POAP Challenges include lightweight structure to keep things engaging and rewarding. Collections may be organized into themes or categories, with milestones that unlock special achievement POAPs, and occasional “bonus” finds for people who want an extra layer of discovery. The goal is not just completion; it is the experience—getting out into the world, noticing new details, sharing a few adventures with others, and building a personal archive of where you have been.
