Niantic has exciting news for Pokémon Go trainers in Chile and India with the launch of the Wayfarer Challenge. This event provides a unique opportunity to influence your local gaming environment while earning exclusive rewards. By participating in the Niantic Wayfarer platform, you can review and approve Wayspot nominations, which could lead to new PokéStops and Gyms in your area.
The Wayfarer Challenge will run from March 7th to 9th in Chile and from March 10th to 12th in India. During these dates, you're encouraged to nominate real-world landmarks, sculptures, street art, and other locations to be transformed into PokéStops and Gyms. Your contributions to reviewing these nominations help reach community milestones, unlocking rewards for all participants.
If the community manages to resolve 5,000 nominations, everyone who participates will be rewarded with 20 Ultra Balls, a Star Piece, an Incense, and a Poffin. Should the community hit 10,000 approvals, the rewards escalate to 25 Ultra Balls, two Star Pieces, two Incense, two Poffins, and a Lucky Egg.
To join in on the fun, you must be at least level 37 in Pokémon Go and have a Niantic Wayfarer account. New users will need to complete the Wayfarer Orientation before they can start reviewing nominations. Additionally, you must have recently played in Chile or India or have your Wayfarer Hometown or Bonus Location set to one of these countries. To be eligible for rewards, you need to review at least 50 nominations, and at least one community milestone must be achieved.
