   FYI – The Zoetrope badge can be achieved by just checking in to a movie theatre 10 times — it doesn't have to be 10 different theatres.

   Nice – I like the format! FWIW, the internet week "boat" was unlocked by checking into a party at The Hotel on Rivington, but the PG version of the badge is unlocked at any venue tagged 'boat'.

   I would categorize the "Trainspotter" badge as corporate, as it was one of the first badges paid for by a mainstream sponsor. There are also a few more sponsored badges available currently.

     Thank you for the suggestions. I have updated the list to reflect the changes.

     As for being a "The Complete Foursquare List": Foursquare will constantly be adding badges. This is the reason I placed the date stamp of 'last updated' on top. The Wikipedia entry has been deleted, but is heavily debated and may merging into the main article. If it's not restored, I'll link to your instead.

   Great list! Great resource now that the Wikipedia article has been deleted.

   Very thorough…the only badge I have that you seem to be missing is the "Waze Road Warrior."

   Also, I think it would be helpful if you split up the city-specific badges into their own categories (it seems New York, San Fran and Austin are the main cities with their own badges).

   Wow. Thanks so much for the blog. I've been looking for this all around the web. I think foursquare should show off the badges on the application of the phone. I can't seem to see on my blackberry what I have as badges. I don't know how you got the infos but ''BRAVO''.

    I think several of these are no longer achievable. Love this chart, but would like to know which ones are "discontinued".

    Does the birthday shout out need to be with a foursquare username to count?

    Great list! The description for the Top Chef badge (related to the locked-down "bravo" tag at tagged restaurants) is incorrect and is written as a duplicate of the Foodie badge (related to the locked-down "zagat-rated" tag). The "Top Chef" badge states: You wear the term "foodie" as a badge of honor, and now have BRAVO's Top Chef Badge to prove it. (NOTE: It can take going to more than one tagged location to get the Top Chef badge.)

    Please note the Top Chef badge you have listed is incorrect. (You have the Zagat badge info for it). It should read: "You wear the term “foodie” as a badge of honor, and now have BRAVO’s Top Chef Badge to prove it"

    The History Channel now has a badge. To obtain it, you have to be friends with them on foursquare first…then check-in to a location of their choosing. I live in Seattle, and I got mine at The Seattle Asian Art Museum.

    [...] For those who don’t know, Foursquare is a mobile application that lets you track where you are and “check in” when you go somewhere. You can add a status and keep track of your friends, like on Facebook and Twitter. But, the application is also a game. You get points for participating in various activities, such as checking in at a location for the first time, traveling a certain distance between check-ins, or checking in often at the same location over time. The “mayor” of a location is the one with the most check-ins there. Additionally, you can earn “badges,” which reward combinations of behaviors . For instance, you get the “Bender” badge if you check in to bars four nights in a row. If you check in at three karaoke lounges, you get the “Don’t Stop Believin’” badge (see full list of badges).

We were watching them closely, as they were super-organized from the beginning. As a result of grassroot efforts, 16th April was declared “Foursquare day”. Since Czech people always try to trick and outsmart the others, #prague4sqday was called for 15th April, putting us in the lead. Unsure about number of 4sq users, the meet-up organizers hoped at least 50 users would come, earning this way the “swarm badge” (wondering how many badges are there? I like this list). [...]
