Have you renewed your passport lately?
With travel back in action, we're bring back our Globetrot Trivia Challenges. We'll travel to fifteen different locations and, using those sites as inspiration, provide quizzes to suit. This adventure around Earth will bring us to new and exciting destinations, most of which will be brand-new to the Globetrot Trivia roster.
A destination will be posted here on this thread. Sometimes that destination will be very specific and sometimes it will be very vague, but either way, we’ll need to have two quizzes queued up before we move on to the next location. When those quizzes are queued, the next one will show. You can, of course, write for any listed destination, even if we move on from it, until the challenge is closed.
So if we use an example: ‘The Sphinx, Egypt'. This means we need to queue two quizzes— anyone can submit them— before we continue on. The quizzes can be about the landmark or about riddles or about the Giza Plateau or on and on and on. As long as you can justifiably link the quiz's subject matter/content to the locations, it’s good! I would like to encourage authors to think outside the box. Use these prompts as an opportunity to spread yourself to parts of the site you may never have thought of before. Since players will be looking at these quizzes from a different angle in the future, it will be very helpful to avoid repetition!
Once we make our trip around the world, we’ll return to our starting location in some way. Last time, we started in Canada and ended the route in Canada again. This time, we're off to China.
All you need to do is post when your quiz is submitted, and when there’s two we’ll move along. The quiz doesn't even need to be online yet! I'll snag it from the queue and add it to the list here.
Oh yeah-- and as noted in the past, all quizzes submitted for the Globetrot challenges will play a strong part in a future game for the site. The more we see, the better it is!
Safe travels!

This might be a bit far-fetched, but three out of ten questions of this recent quiz of mine are about China, and one of them is on Xi'an:  https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/X-Marks-the-SpotB-13929.htmlReply #1. Jul 02 22, 11:05 AM |

No problems! I'm sure there will be lots of great ideas for quiz-writing, as always :D Reply #3. Jul 02 22, 12:54 PM |

It seems this challenge has fallen by the wayside, which is a pity! In any case, some of us in Phoenix Rising wrote a bunch of quizzes about China in the past few weeks, which might be useful to kickstart this Globetrot Trivia again. Here is one I managed, about food: https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/hobbies/not-quite-made-in-china-410019.html And here's another one, about religion in China: https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/religion/china-a-land-of-many-faiths-and-none-410074.htmlReply #7.

Our second destination on this trip around the globe is the island nation of Sri Lanka, a country of significant and storied history, beautiful sites, and amazing food. Reply #8. Sep 07 22, 8:10 AM |

This is about major Asian port cities, and one of the question is on Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital: https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/geography/asia-rules-the-waves-410107.html Reply #9. Sep 13 22, 4:51 PM |

Here's my second quiz for our third destination: https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/hobbies/its-five-oclock-410963.html. Tea is the main theme, and one question is about Sri Lanka. This should be enough to unlock the next destination! Reply #10. Nov 19 22, 5:46 AM |

And it's off on another major shift in destination because stop number three is the capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. One of the fastest-growing cities in the world, this destination smack-dab in the middle of the East African Rift as it cuts through the center of the nation. Occupied since (at least) the Middle Ages, it has a history of Italian rule during the Second World War and experienced tumultuous Civil War in the latter half of the 20th century. Nonetheless it is, today, a hub for African sports and culture. Reply #11. Nov 19 22, 7:23 AM |

It looks like the trip to Ethiopia has extended, so we're off to our fourth destination, specifically the Rock-Hewn Churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia. One of the oldest-established UNESCO World Heritage Sites, these underground places of worship are your springboard for trivia. Head to the highlands for pilgrimage! Reply #16. Jan 06 23, 11:58 AM |
