Subject: The 195 Day Bus Ride Has Begun
Posted by: Terry
Date: Jan 30 10
Thanks to the efforts of our quiz-making community, our enormous library of quizzes cover all 195 countries in the world! Each day, we will choose a new country at random to visit and provide you with an opportunity to learn some things about far-flung corners of the world.
Since you will likely know nearly nothing about many of these countries, we will provide a link to Wikipedia each day, so that you can casually read about the country of the day and hopefully soak in some things. Over 195 days we will visit every country on the planet.
This new addition is a little different than our regular games. It is non-timed, and is intended for those who genuinely are interested in learning about the countries of the world. We provide a link to Wikipedia's entry for each day's country, where you can read up on our destination and hopefully learn some interesting things about it.
A badge can be earned by completing 80 quizzes, but the badge and points are really not the focus of this game. It is our hope that players of this game will never again have to be the one to say "Gabon? I didn't know that's a country!" or "Burkina Faso? Isn't that a type of salad dressing?" Instead, you can be the one to enlighten your family and friends, and perhaps even find some new interesting travel destinations.
A special thanks goes out to geniusonwheels, who helped compiled the list of quizzes for this challenge.
Enjoy the bus ride!
