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!

Mine might take a while, though I have more than half of the photos already in place. It will come in handy for Adventures in Authoring as well, which is always a good thing. Reply #61. Jan 13 18, 10:56 AM |

It will still count for this no matter when you post it. :) When it's submitted I'll add it to the list. Reply #62. Jan 13 18, 11:12 AM |

Alright-- my Notre-Dame quiz is queued. I can sit and relax until the next destination now. :p Reply #65. Jan 14 18, 6:38 PM |

I've submitted "I've Got a Bell" for the Notre Dame leg. Reply #66. Jan 15 18, 3:59 AM |

And that takes us to the small, North African nation of Tunisia, home to deserts, mountains, and the Mediterranean Coast. You could delve into the history of Carthage or look into its ties with nearby Europe or even take a look into the gladiator battles at El Djem! We only have two Tunisian quizzes on the site. We can do better! Reply #67. Jan 15 18, 5:53 AM |

I think I'm moving back into Movies with Tunisia. I don't know much about this country, but I do know a couple small facts. Reply #69. Jan 15 18, 1:55 PM |

Finally just submitted "Paris at the Movies" which, as it has a question about the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" could fit in either slot. I leave it to you! Reply #70. Jan 15 18, 7:07 PM |

Working on an idea for either History or People (whichever wants it) for Tunisia. Reply #71. Jan 15 18, 9:49 PM |

I am falling so far behind! Notre Dame has a couple of questions written and the rest outlined; I have decided on the rough idea for each question in Tunisia. And we're already moving on. So much inspiration, so little time. Reply #74. Jan 16 18, 1:08 PM |

I know, right? I take one day of not writing and we're already moving on to the Sahara Desert! The world's largest desert, the Sahara cuts across Northern Africa through eleven countries to make up over a quarter of the continent. All quizzes for this stop need to be desert-inspired and, as always, you don't need to write about the desert itself provided it ties back in. Reply #75. Jan 16 18, 1:16 PM |

'Checking Out Parisian Churches' has been submitted. On the that movie capital of the world, Tunisia. The Sahara beckons, but will have to wait its turn. Reply #79. Jan 18 18, 2:54 AM |
