Subject: Globetrot Trivia 3 - COMPLETE
Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Jul 03 18
And we're off again!
If you've never seen our Globetrot Trivia Challenges, we stop off at fifteen different locations and dig a bit deeper with quizzes inspired and tenuously linked to our destinations.
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. When those quizzes are queued, the next one will show. You can, of course, write for any listed destination, even if we move on from it.
So if we use an example: ‘The Sydney Opera House, Sydney'. This means we need to queue two quizzes— anyone can submit them— before we continue on. The quizzes can be about the building itself...or opera houses around the world...or opera...or Sydney...or sailing. As long as you can justifiably link the quiz's subject matter/content 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 the Sydney Opera House and ended the route in Sydney again.
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. ;)

The first stop on our new world tour is the Mexican landmark The Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan. About forty kilometers from Mexico City proper, this unique structure on the Avenue of the Dead was, at one point, a Mesoamerican cultural hub and a city centre for one of the biggest populations of the hemisphere. Now a dig site, let this Aztec archaeological treasure trove inspire your quizzes for this first stop. Reply #1. Jul 03 18, 12:10 AM |

Let's get out of the heat and fly abroad to Cambridge, England, where the University of Cambridge, founded in the thirteenth century, will be our next stop. Your quiz could be inspired by any one of its notable alumni-- Charles Darwin, Sir Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, Christopher Marlowe, Lord Byron, Oliver Cromwell, or countless royals. The list goes on!-- or you could hone in on one of the thirty-one colleges on campus. Take a walk down the River Cam and learn something specifically about this university city. Reply #4.

And that unlocks our next destination: Scotland. Any quizzes for our third destination need look no further than this nation known for its rich medieval history, its association with the UK monarchy, its historical sites, its heroic figures, its unique foods, its Highlands, its Islands, or...y'know...anything else Scottish you can think of! Any city, any district, anything Scottish. Reply #7. Jul 05 18, 1:56 PM |

I kind of liked it, actually. Italics are woefully underused. Reply #11. Jul 06 18, 4:57 AM |

For University of Cambridge or Scotland? Reply #14. Jul 06 18, 12:37 PM |

I would think for Cambridge, as The Fens are in that general area, as well as Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Reply #15. Jul 06 18, 1:38 PM |

That's what I thought. Also, it doesn't seem to be in the queues, so when it is, it'll be added. :) Reply #16. Jul 06 18, 3:36 PM |

Regarding the quizzes for GT1/2/3, as I have been asked recently and in the past, yes, the contributions sent in for it, while they don't reward anything special for the time being, may be used in future games. The more contributions we receive, the richer any possibilities could be. It certainly is a larger-scale undertaking than our normal challenges here in the Lounge, so more submissions are appreciated as we go. :) As I did with GT2, I've added some titles to the Author Challenge list which might be good starting points for the destinations currently posted. :) http://www.funtrivia.com/quizchallenges.cfm Reply #19.
