Hello Boy Scouts: Foursquare Introduces Lion City Badge For Singapore

A merlion or a seahorse?

Finally, right? Singaporeans love Foursquare so much that the location-based network now has a dedicated badge for them. It’s simple to get the badge. Just check in to five of the Singapore spots (there are 71 in total) and you will be awarded the Lion City Badge! How cool is that?

What can you do with the badge? Nothing much, I think. But for the many badge lovers/chasers on Foursquare, it could still mean a lot. And for Foursquare, it will bring them more check-ins and usage time.

Foursquare’s Lion City badge actually include some of the most interesting spots in Singapore, including Sentosa, East Coast Park, Holland Village, Fort Canning Park, and Pulau Ubin. So for a tourist, it may prove to be a useful list for exploring Singapore systematically. Good for Charlie, Steven, Rick, and the many folks who will be here for Startup Asia Singapore this coming February.
