Hi quiz authors,
Have you just played a daily quiz in this game and disliked it? Do you think you could write a more interesting quiz that we could use for this game?
Go ahead and do it then! Once it is online, use this thread to post the country name and a link to the quiz that you have written.
Then, once every few months I will come back to this thread and switch out quizzes selected for this game with new ones. If more than one new suggested quiz appears for a country, I will select the one I like most to include in the game on its next iteration.
By refreshing our tour with new quizzes, we will also give players new things to look at if they take this tour again in the future. I look forward to seeing some new creations inspired by our tour.
Thanks

Only Geography quizzes, or from categories as well, as long as it focuses on just one country? Reply #1. Feb 07 10, 1:44 PM |

Any category, as long as it teaches interesting and fairly high-level things related to the country. Reply #2. Feb 07 10, 3:08 PM |

After playing the Liechtenstein quiz, I decided to write my own: http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/Lets-Visit-Liechtenstein-266336.html I'm really enjoying this challenge - so far, I've played every day! (fingers crossed it stays that way!) Reply #3. Mar 09 10, 2:20 AM |

I have just submitted a new quiz on Estonia - my first geography quiz so it might need a bit more work before it gets posted. I have to admit it was really interesting but hard work. I might have a bit of a break before I try another one (well it depends on how good or bad this one is!). Reply #6. Mar 26 10, 1:08 AM |

My quiz on Ireland, online today. Surprisingly, I didn't find an existing one that closely fitted the Bus Ride format (though there may be one that I've missed!). http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/Ireland-The-Emerald-Isle-324583.html Reply #7. Apr 01 10, 10:15 AM |

Okay, I see now (from the Quiz Authoring thread) that I missed Dizart's Ireland quiz, which is on the Bus Run roster. It's a good quiz, and well played - so sorry to have missed it, Dizart! Reply #8. Apr 01 10, 11:46 AM |

I'm really enjoying the Bus Ride -I didn't know there were so many countries I hadn't heard of! My encyclopaedia is being overworked. Reply #9. Apr 01 10, 10:22 PM |

If you check the Quiz Authoring Lounge thread on this topic, you will find a list of countries that are definitely seen to be in need of having a new quiz written, if you want to take one on. Or just wait until you get one you think you could improve on. Or write about a country you have a passion for. It's all good! Reply #10. Apr 05 10, 4:35 AM |

There are a LOT of Ireland county quizzes; they've been everywhere lately. :-) Reply #11. Apr 07 10, 12:01 PM |

I really liked Minch's quiz on Bolivia. It was very well written. Reply #12. Apr 07 10, 7:17 PM |

It may interest people to learn that my quiz on Samoa which hit the Bus Ride today had been languishing at the bottom of my list with rather disappointing ratings. When I first realised it was on the Bus Ride - quite late in the day due to time zones - I discovered that the ratings had gone right up, and it was now a cool quiz! So many thanks to everybody who played and rated my quiz today! Reply #13. May 04 10, 5:13 AM |

Ok, so what countries are left to do? Anyone want to take a guess what company will be the last one we have to do to get the badge? Reply #18. Jul 28 10, 6:10 PM |

I'm not a gold member but I do remember seeing United States as one of the first stops on the bus ride. I don't know about the UK though. Reply #20. Jul 28 10, 9:36 PM |
