In order to get a certain trophy, you must submit a certain number of new portals.

In order to level beyond 8, you must have certain trophies.

Result: shitty public art projects becoming portals. Portals everywhere. At least, where you can drive. On my entire 12-mile standard bike ride, which is entirely on the ocean, there are three. Why? Can't drive there.

The playground mentioned above is filled with whimsical bird houses. Each one of them is a portal. You walk it as a loop and level up. Or, go through and blow it up. Funny thing is, the dude who nuked mine was probably in plain view but I never saw him and he never saw me 'cuz our faces were buried in our phones.
