Photo Quests

Photo Quests are the heart of Pictographs, offering players a dynamic way to explore, create, and earn rewards through photography. To participate, players need a NFT Camera and a Memory Card with available capacity (as described in the Memory Cards section). Engage in a variety of challenges, capture the world around you, and earn $PICTO tokens or streak progression as you complete quests. With four distinct quest categories, there’s always a new adventure waiting to test your skills and creativity.

Reward Selection Before starting a Photo Quest, players must choose their preferred reward: $PICTO tokens or streak progression. Selecting $PICTO tokens grants rewards 24 hours after quest completion, providing a delayed but direct currency boost. Alternatively, choosing streak progression contributes to earning cases (as described in the Streaks and Cases section), offering a chance at rarer rewards like boosters and upgrades.

  • Daily Quests Start each day with three fresh photo quests of varying difficulty—Easy, Medium, and Hard. These challenges are designed to spark your creativity and cater to your skill level. Pick the quests that match your mood and abilities, and earn rewards based on the complexity of the tasks you complete.

  • POI (Point of Interest) Quests Discover the world around you with POI Quests that guide you to real-world locations. Capture unique moments at these points of interest to earn generous rewards. Each POI Quest can only be completed once, encouraging you to explore new places and broaden your horizons.

  • Partner Quests Take on exclusive challenges through Partner Quests, which offer unique tasks and high rewards. These quests involve special collaborations and provide opportunities to earn bonus $PICTO tokens and rare NFTs by completing creative photo challenges. Test your skills and unlock premium rewards in these limited-time events.

  • Special Quests Dive into unique adventures with Special Quests that go beyond the everyday. From weekly puzzles and themed events to time-based challenges, these quests push your creativity and skills to the limit. Stay tuned for limited-time opportunities to earn exclusive rewards and showcase your mastery..

Volts system Volts are the energy required to participate in Pictographs’ photo quests, with the amount needed depending on the quest’s difficulty:

  • Easy quests - 3 volts,

  • Medium quests - 6 volts

  • Hard quests - 9 volts

Managing your volts strategically is key to maximizing your rewards and completing more challenges.

Volts are automatically replenished every 8 hours at 2:00, 10:00, and 18:00 UTC, based on the rarity of the Camera NFTs in your inventory.

The system calculates your energy accrual using the top 5 highest-rarity cameras you own. The breakdown is as follows:

  • Common: 1 camera - 1 volt, 2 cameras - 2 volts, 3 cameras - 4 volts, 4 cameras - 6 volts, 5 cameras - 8 volts

  • Uncommon: 1 camera - 2 volt, 2 cameras - 3 volts, 3 cameras - 5 volts, 4 cameras - 7 volts, 5 cameras - 9 volts

  • Rare - 1 camera - 3 volt, 2 cameras - 4 volts, 3 cameras - 7 volts, 4 cameras - 8 volts, 5 cameras - 11 volts

  • Epic - 1 camera - 4 volt, 2 cameras - 5 volts, 3 cameras - 8 volts, 4 cameras - 10 volts, 5 cameras - 12 volts

  • Legendary - 1 camera - 5 volt, 2 cameras - 6 volts, 3 cameras - 9 volts, 4 cameras - 11 volts, 5 cameras - 14 volts

The maximum volt capacity is capped at 42, so plan your quests wisely to avoid wasting energy.

By collecting higher-rarity cameras, you can increase your energy capacity and take on more challenging quests. Plan your gameplay, optimize your camera inventory, and make the most of your volts to succeed in Pictographs.

Photo quests are a great way to demonstrate your photographic skills, find new inspiration, and elevate your mastery. Choose your quests, activate your camera, and prove that you're a true lens master in the world of Pictographs!
