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!

'Singing Along the Great White Way (Before 1960)' has been submitted in Humanities. First of an eventual series of five! Reply #184. Mar 03 18, 12:40 AM |

Looney_tunes, which destination is that quiz for? Reply #185. Mar 03 18, 11:33 AM |

New York, a second one. The Great White Way is a reference to Broadway, the centre of live theatre in NYC. Unless, of course, you prefer the action in the smaller off-Broadway venues where more intimate shows and experimental theatre thrive. Reply #186. Mar 03 18, 3:27 PM |

And a third quiz has been submitted for New York, 'Living in New York', in Television. Reply #187. Mar 04 18, 12:00 AM |

I'm expecting to start our next circumnavigation in a week and a half. I should be done my last three by then as well. Reply #189. Mar 04 18, 2:44 PM |

'Great Goodness!' has been submitted under General. This is my quiz for the Great Wall of China. So far, I have used Sports, People, Humanities, Movies, History, General. Six down, nine to go! Reply #190. Mar 06 18, 1:03 PM |

I do plan to complete the Tour. Just a small request to the author community, can anybody please write another quiz on South Africa? Kyle will complete her tour soon. And even after I write my South Africa quiz, there will be still 4 quizzes only. I believe we require 5 quizzes for a quiz list with a trophy. Reply #191. Mar 07 18, 4:31 AM |

While it's still VERY early days, this challenge (and the subsequent Globetrot challenges) have a very high likelihood of being something at some point though I'm hoping for something a bit more out of the box from our other challenges, so while I won't be creating quiz lists out of them (we already have billions that only have five quizzes on them), rest assured I have an inevitable endgame. I'm queued for the Great Wall and have a plan for Alaska in motion. Hopefully it'll be ready sooner rather than later. Reply #192. Mar 08 18, 2:03 AM |

My Alaska quiz is queued. Back into my wheelhouse for that one. Just finalizing an idea for New York. Almost there! Reply #194. Mar 08 18, 6:05 PM |

Got my fifteenth ready to queue in TV. As soon as Alaska is up, I'm good to go. Feels nice to have that slate cleaned off. :) Less than a week before we begin our second tour of the globe! Reply #195. Mar 09 18, 1:55 AM |

Alright! Made it! Phew! NYC queued. Reply #196. Mar 09 18, 1:39 PM |

As noted, I'm happy to give a bit more time to people aiming to complete their quizzes/tours. That said, if it pushes months and months, then I have to close it off eventually. Reply #198. Mar 10 18, 4:23 PM |

Hope to submit Alaska by tomorrow. Actually, I have an Adventures in Authoring in the queue... Reply #199. Mar 11 18, 12:02 PM |
