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!

It's going to take a bit of border crossing (northwest into Uganda) but eventually we'll be able to make our way to our ninth destination-- The Nile River. Heading northward from South Sudan and Lake Albert, the White Nile becomes the Nile proper as it heads up through both Sudans and the deserts of Egypt. It's been a lifeline for the people of the ancient civilizations on its shores for thousands of years and an undeniable part of the African backdrop. And of course, we need a couple of quizzes to suit. Watch for crocs! Reply #41. Sep 22 20, 2:28 PM |

If we head up the Nile River far enough, we'll eventually hit the city of Cairo, Egypt and our next waypoint on this trip around the globe-- The Sphinx on the Giza Plateau. This amazing architectural creation with the head of a human and the body of a lion sits in the shadow of the Great Pyramids and is one of the most recognizable landmarks anywhere in the world. It should be a great launching point for a quiz about all things Egypt or, potentially, a submission about mythical creatures. Or maybe you'll ponder some riddles as per the stories! ;) Reply #46.

Two quizzes tips us over into our next destination. We're heading north now, this time to the city of Saint Petersburg, Russia! Formerly Petrograd and Leningrad, this city is one of Russia's largest and comes complete with a thorough history of art, culture, revolt, and royalty. One of the largest cities at such a high latitude, Saint Petersburg makes sense for a good Geography quiz or, if you're interested, a quiz about revolutions might be in order. Or maybe you'll take a look at Saint Peter? Or the 2018 FIFA World Cup? Or the works of Nabakov? I could go on, but then you wouldn't do a bit of digging into this fine city yourself. ;) Reply #50.

We're staying in Saint Petersburg for the twelfth destination! Let's buy a ticket and visit The Hermitage, one of the world's most famous museums, located in the Winter Palace. Your visit here will probably be art-centric, but you could also take a turn towards history, famous Russians, antiquities, and ... places frequented by cats? It probably bears a bit more digging.

I have also been writing a quiz on the Hermitage, but maybe it would be a good idea to scrap it to avoid a duplicate. I'll think of something else for this leg of the challenge. Reply #59. Jan 04 21, 11:42 AM |
