Three Chicago-Themed Badges

Foursquare users can earn special three Chicago ‘badges’ by checking in at a number of citywide locations relevant to one of three iconic Chicago themes: Chicago Blues, Chicago-style hot dogs, and Chicago film locations.

What is Foursquare?

Foursquare is a FREE downloadable game for smart phones and other mobile Internet devices. Users sign up for an account and ‘check in’ at different attractions around the city: museums, cafes, bars, restaurants and parks, for example, to earn points and interact with other users by leaving tips for them to discover.

As you check-in at spots around the city, you'll find Foursquare tips left at each location by Explore Chicago, ranging from historical facts to movie trivia. You can also read tips left behind by other users, and may choose to leave tips of your own.
