Foursquare’s Swarm app has gradually been ramping the fun factor back up, with the return of mayorships and a scoring system based on ‘coins‘ that are earned for checking in.
Now those coins have become a currency.
From today, the Swarm coins you’ve saved in your in-app wallet can be spent on sticker upgrades. Using upgraded stickers when checking in will earn you a bonus multiplier on your points, although you can only use each bonus sticker once per week.
this feature will get many new people embracing Swarm’s brand of location-based gaming but it will certainly help those who love it thinking more strategically about when to go for bonus points.
I keep a close eye on my Swarm leaderboard ranking through the week and I particularly like it when I shoot ahead of TNW’s CEO, Boris. Waiting to the right time to boost my score with a bonus sticker should help me earn some bragging rights around the office, if nothing else.
