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 have another 6 NYC quizzes outlined, but think I will just leave them for completion at a later time - three from me at the last stop is plenty! And then there is the little matter of a new commission title, not to mention Scattergories that just allocated me a category, and that Best Picture quiz - today I will watch 'Grand Hotel', and not just think about how I really must do so. I might even get the quiz done, but that sort of depends on real life. Reply #201. Mar 11 18, 3:39 PM |

I have finished writing 'Largest Administrative Regions' in Geography-Miscellany. Unfortunately I can't submit it yet - an Adventures in Authoring quiz is in the queue. I have started writing a quiz on the Sahara desert. So far, seven down - eight to go! Sports, People, Humanities, Movies, History, General, Geography. And I still have a commission, a cascade, and a scattergory left. Hectic days ahead...GlobeTrotter 2 coming up... Reply #204. Mar 12 18, 7:33 AM |

'Largest Administrative Regions' have been submitted in Geography. Seven down, eight to go. So far, I have used Sports, People, Humanities, Movies, History, General, Geography. On to Sahara. Reply #206. Mar 12 18, 9:32 PM |

Which destination is that for? Reply #207. Mar 12 18, 10:14 PM |

That was Alaska, I think, from an earlier post. Reply #208. Mar 13 18, 12:20 AM |

Alaska. Yes. Reply #209. Mar 13 18, 3:50 AM |

'Largest Administrative Regions' is online. Let me work on Cascade or Scattergories, then Sahara I guess. Reply #210. Mar 15 18, 5:11 PM |

angikar, why not move on to the next globetrot instead of focusing on this one? I know you wanted to do 15 stops in 15 categories, and you can always make that a personal challenge. (I plan to write the ones I outlined for NYC, but not instantly - active challenges take priority in my mind.) Reply #211. Mar 16 18, 1:16 AM |

If I had read the book, this would have been my quiz for Alaska. Player Sakthipikku just had his quiz ''Looking for Alaska' by John Green' online. Shall we add it? Reply #212. Mar 24 18, 2:56 AM |

No - this challenge isn't an umbrella for anything that can be squashed in, it is for quizzes that players wrote on purpose to meet its demands. Reply #213. Mar 24 18, 3:57 AM |

Looney_tunes once said that she planned to write the other quizzes she planned on New York. One of her quizzes on New York was 'Singing Along the Great White Way, before 1960'. Today, the sequel to that quiz was released. Looney_tunes, is this sequel one of your planned quizzes for New York? Reply #214. Apr 08 18, 10:04 AM |

It is, but I decided that with the time lag it was not appropriate to include it here - the challenge cannot go on forever! It is now appearing in my Musicals quiz list, where the next three planned quizzes will be added when they eventuate. Reply #215. Apr 08 18, 3:12 PM |

Does that mean I can no longer I can no longer complete my pending quizzes for GlobeTrotter 1? :-( Reply #216. Apr 08 18, 3:28 PM |

I did plan to write them. Reply #217. Apr 08 18, 3:29 PM |

Write them! But you should check with Kyle to see how long he wants to keep this open - it is not appropriate to run it forever. I thought that three quizzes on the final destination from me was more than enough, anyway. Reply #218. Apr 08 18, 4:53 PM |

I know your intent is to get them complete, but yours is the only name I still have pending quizzes for this one, and with all of the other challenges you still have going right now (and your attention on them), I'm a bit concerned about how long to leave this going. As I said (in this thread-- when you asked last time) I don't intend to keep this going for months and months, but I was willing to give a bit more time to those attempting to get more done. If you are planning to write for the other ones as well, the numbers are only going to get higher and higher. If we finish GT2's route, I do not intend to have another starting with GT1 still on the go. No quizzes have gone online for this one in nearly a month. Reply #219. Apr 08 18, 6:05 PM |

Ok. Kyle, your last message indicates that there are many more planned Globetrotter tours..Then it's fine...You can declare Globetrotter 1 as complete. Anyway I don't have existing templates. Reply #220. Apr 09 18, 9:39 PM |
