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!

Now that all the stops are revealed, I won't be giving anything away (which might have been the case if it had been revealed earlier when Joepetz made post 34) when I note kyle's passion for the show 'The Amazing Race'. Season 1 started in Central Park, and our journey paralleled the path of contestants around the world, with a few creative twists. It was only when we reached Alaska that I connected the dots (I don't remember what was memorable about the leg to Alaska, but it did lodge in my brain as a location, unlike the earlier ones that had blurred into other seasons of the show), remembered seeing the final dash to the finish line, and went to look up the route to confirm my suspicion.

It clicked as soon as I saw Joepetz’s post. Though knowing Kyle, I should have guessed earlier. Reply #164. Feb 15 18, 3:26 PM |

The Big Apple has sent me into overdrive - one quiz written, seven more outlined - I can't decide which one to finish first; if I don't make myself focus, I could find myself with more quizzes on the go than I have ever had! Reply #171. Feb 20 18, 4:24 AM |
