この "Groupie badge" がどんな意味を持つバッジなのかよくわかっていないけど、Webブラウザでちょっとした謎解きゲーム?をするだけでバッジがもらえるので、以下そのメモ。

このバッジは SXSW 2010 というイベントで公表されたらしい。

肝心の謎解きゲーム?の問題の内容がどんなものなのか見つからないのだけれど、foursquare: FOURSQUARE BIZ CARDS: Collect all 6 and unlock a badge! にアクセスして14枚のカードから6枚の当たりカードを選べば Groupie Badge を取得できるらしい。

You have to collect the business cards from people that work at foursquare. Each one has a different symbol on the back and there are 6 different symbols. Once you get all 6 you go to a special site and put them in and then you get the badge.

参考情報

It was thought that the Super Swarm and the Groupie Badge had both been retired after SXSW 2010. Apparently that just isn't the case as each badge was spotted last week. For more information about the Super Swarm in Indonesia you should check out this article (hopefully you can read the language better than I can). It was even confirmed by this official foursquare tweet.

The groupie badge looks like you just have to checkin to the same location as one of the original founders and they have turned it back on for at least a few special individuals. So do you have any plans on how you are going to create an event to get a super swarm or groupie badge?

Super Swarm and Groupie Badges Both Spotted After SXSW 2010
Best of all, adding a real life twist to unlocking Foursquare “badges,” the business development team at Foursquare handed out secret business cards to fans that were then given a link to a special web page for SXSW. Those lucky enough to collect all of the cards were awarded a “Groupie” badge.
