Lost Where's Waldo Badge

So, when looking through my badges recently, I found out that my Where’s Waldo badge that I adored had vanished! Has anyone else experienced this problem or any solutions?

Hi @Joshua_Lawson the Waldo badge was retired from Android Google Maps App as the new Video Director badge was introduced: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/I-found-new-badges-on-Google-Maps/m-p/1108280

But you can still find the Waldo Badge in iOS Google Maps app!

Dude thank you so much for letting me know so quickly. I really appreciate it. Do you know the motivation behind the retirement? Also, it seems to be that I can view other people with the badge.

Hi @Joshua_Lawson badges like Waldo are temporary, like the pacman on google maps, and have a limited lifespan :wink:

@Joshua_Lawson make sure to check your account again beginning of April 2019… there might be a new temporary badge then (as Waldo was really an April fool’s thing).

Some of my badges disappeared and was wondering what happened. Just like now some of the likes are not appearing. I think just let me continue to contribute and see what will happen next.
