We’ve added Badges to make the hunting a bit more interesting along the way!
As you submit sightings, you’ll automatically pick up badges for various milestones. Some are obvious (5 sightings, 10 sightings, …). Some reward geography (one badge per borough, plus a 5 Boro badge for all five). Some are plate-pattern based (a T######C plate with a Full House digit pattern is one in a hundred).
The full list of available badges is on the badges page.
Some highlights:
- Ocean Spotter — your first sighting
- 5 Boro — a sighting in each of NYC’s five boroughs
- Sightings Benjamin — your sighting was the 100th, 200th, 300th… overall
- Oceans Century — your sighting was the 100th, 200th, 300th… unique Ocean ever
- Jackpot — a plate with 5 identical consecutive digits (~1 in 2,000)
If you earn a new badge with a sighting, you’ll see it called out in the Bluesky post for that sighting. Badges and the stats page work together to give you something to chase if “I want to find every Fisker Ocean in New York” isn’t already enough.
