Are you ready to go on a little bit of an adventure?
Well here at Globetrot Trivia, we’re all going to take a bit of a trivial tour around the planet, stopping off at a number of points of interest and learning a bit more along the way!
For this challenge, a destination will be posted here. 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.
Let’s take a hypothetical here. Let’s say our current location is ‘The Great Pyramids of Egypt’. This means we need to queue two quizzes— anyone can submit them— before we continue on. The quizzes can be about they pyramids…or pyramids in general…or Egyptian landmarks…or the 7 Wonders…or mummies…or camels. As long as you can justifiably link the quiz to the locations, it’s good!
Once we make our trip around the world, we’ll return to our starting location.
All you need to do is post when your quiz is submitted, and when there’s two we’ll move along. :)
Join me, won’t you? Let’s see the world!

Our first destination is New York City-- specifically Central Park! Let's explore this urban center of Manhattan! You could write a quiz about famous city parks or the NYC Marathon or the skyscrapers or boroughs of NYC or John Lennon or Sheep Meadows... I mean, it's your leisure! Hopefully this central location is a good focus for your first quiz on the tour! Reply #1. Dec 30 17, 4:03 PM |

Part of me is wondering if I should take the tour alongside everyone and go for the full trip... Reply #5. Jan 01 18, 12:21 PM |

Are we limited to just one quiz for this challenge or no? Reply #6. Jan 01 18, 1:18 PM |

Nope! Reply #7. Jan 01 18, 1:59 PM |

I may have a quiz idea in mind for our visit to Central Park that takes a look at all of Manhattan. Just to note-- we only need two quizzes queued for each destination, but anyone who has a quiz in progress that doesn't end up being one of the first two will still be added to the list. :) Reply #8.

Kyle, I reckon I might join you in the grand tour. Assuming life doesn't get out of control. Reply #11. Jan 02 18, 2:26 AM |

I have an idea for one. It's a People quiz about the statues. Reply #12. Jan 02 18, 10:09 AM |

I'm not sure whether or not you want the links posted, too. In case that's useful, here's mine. http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Humanities/Shakespeare-in-the-Park-391032.html Reply #14. Jan 02 18, 1:15 PM |

My quiz is ready, but I changed a couple of photos and am waiting for the new ones to appear before submitting. Reply #15. Jan 02 18, 8:42 PM |

Hit CTRL-F5 on your quiz template. It'll do a hard reset and the photos should change. If you've swapped them out, FT know it and has them, but your browser has cached the photos. Reply #16. Jan 02 18, 9:40 PM |

Thanks, Kyle! I didn't know that trick! "Who's Who: Hanging Out in Central Park" has been submitted to People. Reply #17. Jan 03 18, 8:06 AM |

This means that we have enough quizzes to nab some tickets and fly direct to Johannesburg, South Africa (okay, okay, maybe we fly through Atlanta or something, but I'm sure it's a short connection). It's South Africa's biggest city and, surprisingly, not one of its three capitals. Nonetheless, it's been the site for many of the country's most important events from its early days with the gold rush to Apartheid in the twentieth century. Reply #18. Jan 03 18, 12:39 PM |

Just a reminder to everyone with a Central Park quiz on the go-- keep going with it! It will still be added! Reply #19. Jan 03 18, 12:48 PM |

I have an idea for Johannesburg. Actually, I have written a quiz, but will leave it to ripen for a while, and give others a chance to come to the party. If I don't see anyone else interested in a few days, it will be ready to go and help us on our way. Reply #20. Jan 04 18, 1:25 AM |
