Subject: Without a Map - Label Quiz Challenge
Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Nov 14 25
The Label Quiz, as a format, seems to stump a lot of authors, possibly due to the difficulty of getting it just right. With this challenge, we'd like to see people break the mold a little bit and use this chat as an opportunity to brainstorm the possibilities that are out there.
For this challenge, we're looking for one Label Quiz in every category. You may claim one at a time, but you can write more if your previous ones go online. The catch? You can not use a map of anywhere on Earth to make your quiz. Yes, the format lends itself so well to that, but we want to see something a bit different.
Now might be the opportunity you need to push yourself with some Home/Castle requirements!

I cannot resist trying to figure out how to do Geography sans map. I'll take that please. Reply #3. Nov 14 25, 4:04 PM |

I was thinking on Geography as well, and I thought it'd be a neat idea to get either a city skyline or a mountain range and use labels to point out points of interest. Sidesteps the map option for sure. There are other ways, I'm sure. Reply #4. Nov 14 25, 4:09 PM |

I'll try my hand at Humanities, as I have an idea for it. Reply #5. Nov 14 25, 4:52 PM |

Those are good ideas. Not sure the angle I'm gonna take yet. As usual, my first idea when given a rule was to stretch it as far as possible, so I have an idea I like, which will certainly prompt a unique Geo Label-format quiz. Whether or not you actually take it for *this* challenge, I can't guess. But I am definitely inspired :). Reply #6. Nov 14 25, 4:55 PM |

Worst case, of course, is you get two unique Geography Label-format quizzes out of me. Reply #7. Nov 14 25, 4:56 PM |

*You can not use a map of anywhere on Earth* So... do treasure maps or maps of fictional realms count? Reply #9. Nov 15 25, 2:21 AM |

I will take Entertainment - this is one of the last two formats I need there. Question - if I find an image that fits exactly what I want but only has 9 things to label, would that be acceptable? Reply #10. Nov 15 25, 3:10 AM |

Although that query may be academic, since I have realised that the image really works in FC, not entertainment. I will still commit to entertainment, unless someone else really wants it, as I eventually need to come up with an idea! Reply #11. Nov 15 25, 3:15 AM |

Video Games, because I am actually doing a Label quiz for it, though it was going to be a map one. But I can work round it. Reply #12. Nov 15 25, 3:41 AM |

Can I take People next? It's the only category that I still need to do a label quiz for. I'm sure I can think of something. Reply #15. Nov 15 25, 9:16 AM |

Re: "So... do treasure maps or maps of fictional realms count?" Treasure maps-- sure, as long as they're not maps to treasure on real Earth. Fictional realms-- absolutely okay to use. Reply #16. Nov 15 25, 9:35 AM |

I'm actually eager to see how people approach this challenge because, as a big proponent of using maps for Label Quizzes, I think that some of the most interesting submissions I see for this format stray from that. I'm most interested to see what images people can use for this as I truly think the most successful use of the format leverages a single image as a focal point in a clean and concise way that can't be done using other formats (like Photo or Photo-Match). :) To add, I intentionally said maps of Earth because I think there are absolutely good opportunities to use maps of other planets, maps of fictional places, floorplans, etc. that we rarely see. Do a map of the stars! (Sky's not the limit, har har.) Reply #17. Nov 15 25, 10:11 AM |

Mine is for Street Fighter II and it was going to be the characters' countries, but as maps are verboten, could I use national animals or flags? And find some way of putting them into one picture and sticking numbers on them? Someone recommended an online photo editor to me - I don't have Photoshop - and I can't remember what it was.
