In the Foursquare service, badges are rewards players can earn for checking-into various places. Once a badge is earned by a player, it will remain on that user's profile indefinitely.

The Foursquare staff are very secretive about how to unlock many badges. There are a handful of introductory badges that are earned as milestones in usage. Some badges are tied to venue "tags" and the badge earned depends on the tags applied to the venue. [1] Other badges may be specific to a city, venue, event, or date. Some badges utilize identical icons, but are earned differently. There are a few known badges that are named similarly, but applied differently, specifically Far Far Away, Trifecta and I'm on a Boat.
