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. ;)

"Play it, Sam." Play what? The quiz, of course. Since the next stop on this Globetrot Trivia tour is the city of Casablanca, Morocco, it makes sense to pull out a reference to the classic 1942 film of the same name. That could be your inspiration for a quiz on this Atlantic port city, one of the largest in Africa and the largest, by population, in the nation. The movie is one quiz possibility, but there's so much on and under the surface of this location that you could talk about its sites, its French history, its place in Morocco, or even its name (Casa Blanca? 'White House'?!). Or you could go far out of the box and write a quiz about the music of The Strokes (lead singer, Julian Casablancas). "Here's lookin' at you, quiz." Reply #41. Jul 15 18, 10:54 PM |

I just located one of my favorite Marx Brothers movies on YouTube - now to find the time to watch it and try to frame a quiz around the laughter. Reply #42. Jul 16 18, 1:22 AM |

The Alps! What can you say, really? Well, it's up to you to figure that out, because your quiz for this sixth stop on the Globetrot Trivia 3 tour is this expansive mountain range that cuts through France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, and Slovenia, making one of Europe's most picturesque and sublime regions. Great works of literature have been written about them; nations build their cities within them; mountaineers conquer them; some people cross them on elephants! Maybe you're a fan of Saint Bernards or cheese fondue or castles or Winter Olympics! No matter what your inspiration, this stop is yours to make into a quiz. Climb the tallest peak! (It's Mont Blanc, by the way.) Reply #49. Jul 24 18, 6:34 AM |

The symbol of Romantic Bavaria, Neuschwanstein Castle, on the German border with Switzerland in the small village of Hohenschwangau rises from the Alps and acts as our seventh stop on the tour. The palace exudes fairy tale opulence, and it's no surprise that it was the basis for the appearance of Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle. Take your inspiration from this idyllic, regal home as you consider your quiz for this destination. Reply #56. Jul 26 18, 3:32 PM |
