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. ;)

Now that my writer's block seems to have subsided (at least for the time being), I'd like to use one of your Challenge titles for a quiz on pyramids. However, I think I will have to wait for my latest quiz to be put online, as it also was a Challenge title. Reply #21. Jul 07 18, 5:21 AM |

Kyle, can we use a template that we created prior to this challenge? I have a quiz template from almost two years ago that would work here. Reply #22. Jul 07 18, 5:56 PM |

Absolutely! As long as it hasn't been online before. Reply #23. Jul 07 18, 6:46 PM |

From what I see, it appears that I can jump in at any point with an appropriate quiz about the listed place? Reply #24. Jul 09 18, 7:31 AM |

That is what I have been doing celvet. Only a few ambitious people are writing for every destination. Reply #25. Jul 09 18, 7:49 AM |

Enough of the UK for now. Let's head south on a trip to the capital city of Portugal: Lisbon. Home to a quarter of the nation's population, this beautiful capital city is one of continental Europe's western-most major locations and is one of the most economically-successful major cities in the world. Predating many European capitals, Lisbon's history reaches back to an era before Roman rule, and it's a gateway to the Atlantic coast as it stretches up to Sintra to the north and Faro to the south, on the Strait of Gibraltar. This noble city is the next stop. Reply #28. Jul 11 18, 8:44 AM |

I love it! I am trying to decide between a tribute to the fashions of my youth (no college dorm room was complete without a candle in either a Chianti bottle or a Mateus bottle), or the Age of Discovery. Tomorrow is a quiz-writing day, so I will sleep on it one more night. Reply #36. Jul 12 18, 11:41 PM |

I think I have everyone up to date. Just filling in the updates from a train in Austria! I thought we’d be onto the next destination by now to be honest. ;) Reply #37. Jul 14 18, 6:38 AM |
