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!

I joined the Globetrotter late. I have an idea about France. If I write it, will it still be considered as part of this challenge? Reply #142. Feb 10 18, 10:40 AM |

I just came to post about The Great Wall of China being online, but I've been beaten to it. Thanks to Spanishliz for some extremely speedy editing. :-) Reply #143. Feb 10 18, 10:57 AM |

Re: "I joined the Globetrotter late. I have an idea about France. If I write it, will it still be considered as part of this challenge?" Yup! Even if we hit the final destination and finish it off, I'm happy to leave this open so that people can finish their submissions (or the whole tour if they wish) to a reasonable end. :) Reply #144.

As that queues, it unlocks our penultimate destination: the U.S. state of Alaska! The coldest, most northern state, Alaska is a unique spot all on its own filled with natural beauty, interesting stories, and industrious spirit. Reply #153. Feb 12 18, 7:47 PM |

Not going as specific as Flushing Meadows Park? (I finally twigged where the course came from when we hit Alaska, and ancient memories resurfaced.) Reply #159. Feb 15 18, 12:32 AM |

Nope! I figured we could end it a bit more open than that. But then again, you could always take the New York open theme and narrow the scope to that particular park. We will likely finish this route in the coming days, and people should feel free to continue submitting to complete their submissions or make all the stops on their grand tour (I know I will!). If you figured out the gimmick behind this route, you'll probably figure out the next, though I may mix things up a bit. ;) We will begin another trip around the world in March, likely around the time we launch our next Commission.
