The adventure continues!
With Globetrot Trivia, we visit fifteen destinations all around the world. Sometimes we learn about those locations, but sometimes they inspire something more.
For this challenge, a destination is posted here on this thread. 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.
So if we use an example: ‘Central Park, NYC'. This means we need to queue two quizzes— anyone can submit them— before we continue on. The quizzes can be about the park...or parks around the world...or Manhattan...or Central Perk from 'Friends'. 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 in some way. Last time, we started in Central Park and ended the route in New York City.
All you need to do is post when your quiz is submitted, and when there’s two we’ll move along. The quiz doesn't even need to be online yet! Think of it as a teaser for the players. ;)
Let's see the world again!

I’m going to try for the full tour again, but we’ll have to see how it goes. :p Reply #2. Mar 12 18, 2:28 AM |

I am still jetlagged as well. I am just half my at through the first tour. In the new tour, again, fifteen quizzes, fifteen categories. Reply #3. Mar 12 18, 4:32 AM |

Maybe I will try the whole tour rather than picking and choosing like the last time. Reply #4. Mar 12 18, 10:37 AM |

It's certainly a trip outside of one's comfort zone (for the most part) doing the full tour. Looking at the stops for this one, i'm kind of interested in seeing what I decide to do. I typically only think about each location as it shows up so that things can be 'in the moment'. This time it's hard to even decide on a cursory glance. Reply #5. Mar 12 18, 5:35 PM |

Alright everyone! Here we go again! And just so that our Australian authors aren't jetlagged, we're going to start Down Under. ;) Our first destination for this tour is the world-famous Sydney Opera House, one of the most famous landmark structures in the world characterized by its recognizable architecture on the edge of Sydney Harbour. Your quiz could take the obvious route and be about opera or you could go a completely different direction and talk about Sydney musicians or buildings that look like sails (I can think of a few!). Or, if you're honing in, write a quiz about Sydney itself...or houses that aren't actual houses. Remember: the world is your oyster here at Globetrot Trivia! Bon voyage! Reply #6.

I happened to read this post while passing by the Opera House getting in to work this morning. Now if only I had a quiz idea for it. Reply #7. Mar 15 18, 2:26 AM |

Zorba, aren't you from India? Then how are you 'passing by the Opera House'? Reply #8. Mar 15 18, 2:31 AM |

It's frustrating to be a newbie author xD xD...A Geography GlobeTrotter 1 submitted...With a Brain Teasers ready already....A question...How many quizzes have to be written before one can submit two quizzes in the queue? Reply #13. Mar 15 18, 8:34 AM |

A quiz on Sydney sixer BBL team allowed? Reply #14. Mar 15 18, 11:11 AM |

Yes, why not? Reply #15. Mar 15 18, 11:49 AM |

Re: "A quiz on Sydney sixer BBL team allowed?" It does have a link to Sydney, but it really doesn't have much to do with the opera house (where it doesn't seem any sporting events are held). If I may recommend, our first race started and ended in the same city, so you may reserve that idea for something a bit more appropriate later on. I can mostly confirm that it would be a better fit for an alternative location on this route. Reply #16. Mar 15 18, 4:20 PM |
