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!

"Oh yeah, and it's the last nation on our trip that wasn't visited in a previous GT Trivia circumnavigation." Haven't we visited India on 2 previous rounds? Reply #22. Jul 29 20, 5:36 PM |

Re: "Haven't we visited India on 2 previous rounds?" You're right. My bad-- it's the last we DID visit. Everything from here on out is new (except our inevitable return to Canada). :) Reply #24. Aug 05 20, 11:45 AM |

And with that we fly off to somewhere new: The United Arab Emirates. This oil-rich nation, while covered in desert, is home to mega-cities and extensive history. This stop on the trip should take us to some of the wonders, magic, and beauty of this Middle Eastern landscape. Maybe you can hone in on cuisine or take a ride on the dunes or explore an old souk-- or even a new megamall. There's a lot to explore on this sixth stop! Reply #29. Aug 11 20, 10:30 PM |

I am finally done with my quiz 'Portuguese Colonial History of Bengal' for the Kolkata leg. More niche than the British colonial period, but still influential in its legacy. Time for the next Kolkata quiz. Reply #31. Aug 17 20, 9:53 AM |

And that will send us to the seventh stop on the trip, specifically the uniquely-built Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai on the coast of the United Arab Emirates. Constructed to look like the sail of a ship, this structure was built on a man-made island off the edge of the city and was one of the first and most distinct landmarks to grace Dubai in its early days of modern metropolitan construction. Use it as your inspiration and enjoy your stay! Reply #33. Aug 29 20, 7:17 PM |

Away to Africa we go-- we're off to the nation of Tanzania! This East African nation, home to Mount Kilimanjaro, is both richly diverse and rife with notable scientific tidbits. Home to some of the oldest hominid fossils, you could make this trip one that goes back through time. Alternatively, if you're just in the mood to experience the ways of life here, you could join up with the Masaai Mara of Ngorongoro Crater and spend a day under the expansive blue skies. Reply #38.
