@JonatasMore how do you know this?

@choad17 When you look at the badge in your display case, it shows as Level 1. I'll be testing it out later on to see if it does go to level 2 or beyond.

@CommonDisaster thanks I see on twitter it is leveling. I am following and checking in at places according to the Historian list above but don't seem to have leveled as of yet.

choad17

Got it. I'm following their list. Doing the Central Park Monuments and Memorials list now.

Beerknurd

Took me 10 checkins to Philidelphia, PA venues but I got to level 2. The badge says I found only 4 venues, so apparently not all of the "History Channel" venues from their list count? There are a lot of NY venues. I may hit those up next.

How to level up :

Level 1 : 1 ci
Level 2 - 4 : 3 unique ci each level
Level 5 - 10 : 5 unique ci each level

I did the same thing when checking in for the "Sandy" concert...i was bumped to lvl 10. I checked the previous level check in and it had me at the lvl 1, so I don't know how the big boost happened, but I'm not complaining :-D

Howdy, Stranger!
