Morty displays awards in a few places within the platform, but we are somewhat picky about which awards are included.
Our goal is to display the most credible and meaningful awards to guide our users. We don't always include even mainstream awards, because our community is seeking the most knowledgeable sources of information about what's best.
This is at the core of why Morty displays, for example, TERPECA awards, but not awards from e.g. the New York Times, when it comes to attractions like escape rooms.
A summary of our criteria is available below.
