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!

With that, we unlock destination twelve: the capital city of China, Beijing. This city of twenty-one million is a multi-Olympic Host City, a historical Mecca, and a modern juggernaut. It has a rich political history spanning dynasties and it's home to China's Silicon Valley. There are so many directions to go here, it's mind-boggling. Reply #125. Feb 05 18, 1:32 PM |

I find it very interesting to see our most popular destinations thus far have been Paris and Jaipur. It's neat to see which ones are most inspiring. I have my plan for Jaipur underway. Hoping to get it submitted tomorrow or the next day so I don't fall too far behind. Reply #129. Feb 05 18, 3:41 PM |

Destination thirteen keeps us in China-- we're going to The Great Wall! You might not be able to see it from space, but you can certainly take a trip there with a quiz and stretch along any point of its 8850-km track through Asia for inspiration! Reply #135. Feb 06 18, 7:54 PM |
