Subject: Globetrot Trivia 5

Travel is back on the table!
Like our previous Globetrot Trivia Challenges, we will be stopping off at fifteen different locations and go exploring with quizzes inspired by the destinations selected. This trip should stretch participants to all new destinations, nine of which are in all-new nations and the rest of which touch on completely new regions.
A destination will be 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, until the challenge is closed (usually a couple months after we reach the end.
So if we use an example: ‘The Eiffel Tower, Paris'. This means we need to queue two quizzes— anyone can submit them— before we continue on. The quizzes can be about the tower or about World's Fairs or about steel structures or Parisian landmarks or Paris itself or Gustave Eiffel, etc. As long as you can justifiably link the quiz's subject matter/content to the locations, it’s good! I would like to encourage authors to think outside the box. Use these prompts as an opportunity to spread yourself to parts of the site you may never have thought of before. Since players will be looking at these quizzes from a different angle in the future, it will be very helpful to avoid repetition!
Once we make our trip around the world, we’ll return to our starting location in some way. Last time, we started in Italy and ended the route in Italy 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! I'll snag it from the queue and add it to the list here.
Oh yeah-- and all quizzes submitted for the Globetrot challenges will play a strong part in a future game for the site. Just to put that out there. So the more, the better!

To celebrate Canada Day, our first stop will be the city of Calgary, Alberta, the home of the Calgary Stampede and the largest city in the province (though the capital is Edmonton!). An Olympic host city, Calgary sits between the Rocky Mountains and to the west and the prairies to the east. The city thrived due to an oil boom and, today, acts as a major sporting city, not only for the Stampede, but for the Calgary Flames and the Stampeders (the CFL football team). Reply #1.

Ooh that's exciting. You get the honours-- would we like to head east this time, or west? Your call. :) Reply #5. Jul 06 20, 2:34 PM |

Let's head west since we went east(ish) last time. Reply #6. Jul 06 20, 7:07 PM |

Alrighty then! Let's fly down to Los Angeles, California! Who needs the brutal winters, dry air, and blackflies of Alberta when we can take a trip down Hollywood Boulevard or coast along the beaches of Malibu or catch a game at the Staples Center? Los Angeles is a MASSIVE city and hopefully you can fit just a taste of it into a quiz that captures the essence or, at the very least, a small chunk of the glitz and glamor that can be Los Angeles.

And it opens the door to our third destination, the archipelago that is the nation of The Philippines. International trips might not be on the table right now, but Globetrot Trivia gives us the opportunity to journey to this diverse Southeast Asian nation. You could be writing about the nation's nineteen languages or Filipino culture; maybe the quiz will be about volcanic eruptions; perhaps you're hankering for a relaxing stay on the beaches of El Nido. No matter what, it's time to take a trip. Reply #10. Jul 14 20, 10:53 AM |

Travel is tough these days, so we're going to backtrack a bit and make a stop in Oceania to explore New Zealand. This may be an extended layover considering the current climate of air travel, but it's a great opportunity to explore a land of beautiful landscapes, rich, exotic history, and exemplary entertainment.

Excellent! In that case we're making a return to India because our next destination is the West Bengal city of Kolkata. One of the most heavily-populated cities in the world, the former Calcutta is a cultural capital and major port for the nation. Built in the Lower Ganges Delta, in a section of reclaimed wetland, it's a former capital known for its turbulent history. Oh yeah, and it's the last nation on our trip that wasn't visited in a previous GT Trivia circumnavigation. ;) Reply #18. Jul 29 20, 1:36 PM |

And once again I am falling further and further behind. Any year now work will settle down to something resembling normalcy, and I will find time to get some writing done. Reply #19. Jul 29 20, 3:00 PM |
