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. ;)

We've relaxed in Vancouver for a month, but it's time to leave Canada and head south across the border to Seattle, Washington. This Pacific Northwest U.S. city is perhaps best known for the Space Needle but it's also the home of several industry leaders (Amazon! Nintendo! Starbucks!) and was the home of the grunge movement in music and style. Maybe you're interested in Boeing aircraft or the Puget Sound or the TV show "The Killing" or situations where you might be sleepless here. All of these might be the ideal starting points for your quiz. Reply #101. Sep 22 18, 8:28 AM |

'A Vancouver Who's Who' has headed off to the queue. I'm very late to the party - it's my first contribution to any of the Globetrot challenges. Reply #102. Sep 23 18, 2:10 AM |

'Eponyms for Cities' (#394723) has been submitted to People, for Seattle. And I seem to have caught up. :) Reply #107. Oct 03 18, 10:47 PM |

And I've submitted 'Timeless from Seattle', also to People, but taking a different approach from L_T, I think. Reply #108. Oct 04 18, 8:22 AM |

Sorry for the lack of updates this week. Needed to step back a bit. This will be updated tomorrow; will be tending to FT things all weekend. ;) Reply #110. Oct 05 18, 12:15 AM |

Alrighty-- the flight has finally been booked and it's time to cross the U.S. and touch down in Florida. I hope you brought bug spray; it's time to visit Everglades National Park in South Florida. The wetlands here are one of the most diverse ecosystems in the Continental United States and, just outside of Miami, stretching across vast portions of the state, it makes the perfect place to frame a quiz. You could take any aspect-- its wildlife, its ecology, the preservation efforts therein, the surrounding area...you could even write our much needed quiz about airboats. Reply #111.

I am now doing some research for that "much needed quiz about airboats". As I know next to nothing about them (but remember seeing them in a TV show from the early 1960s, as well as a Simpsons episode), this will take a while. Reply #112. Oct 06 18, 11:27 PM |

I have submitted "The Steadfast Seminole" for the Everglades, Florida. I am sure happy that LT decided to research airboats! Reply #115. Oct 15 18, 1:36 PM |

This may be tenuous, but I've been thinking of questions based around limes/the word "lime" - can I submit "Key Lime Questions" under The Everglades, Florida? Reply #116. Oct 15 18, 3:02 PM |

Excellent! With these new additions we can finally afford our final trip to the last destination of this tour. We're heading back to Mexico! The whole country is up for grabs, and while we just focused on a single site for our first destination way back in July, you can focus on any aspect of this great nation this time around.
