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!

Thankfully most of my questions were on different topics, and the quiz is also in a different category. So, finally it's here - my first quiz of 2021!  https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Humanities/Art-at-the-Winter-Palace-404038.htmlReply #61. Jan 10 21, 1:19 PM |

It means that we're looking far ahead to our next destination. We're leaving the hemisphere(s) and flying to Uruguay. Even if we're landing in Montevideo, you could take on any region and any aspect of the nation, perhaps one of the less-explored destinations in Latin America. But now's the chance! Enjoy some beef; relax on the beaches of Punta del Este; hang out with the gauchos! Reply #62. Jan 10 21, 2:10 PM |

And with that we move west to the Andes Mountains, the longest chain of mountains in the world stretching down the backbone of South America. The second-highest range on the planet, the Andes cut through numerous countries and have integral roles in the cultures of numerous civilizations. Its highest peak, Aconcagua, might be a good place to start, but you might get swayed by a quiz about Machu Picchu instead... or maybe a quiz all about alpacas? Really, it shouldn't be hard to stretch your brain to think of something that'll make your quiz Andean in nature. Reply #66. Jan 16 21, 12:32 PM |

Well, if we've gotten a couple in the Andes, we can make our way back to Alberta, Canada and take a trip into the Rocky Mountains to Banff, our final destination for this trip. Banff National Park is one of Canada's most celebrated natural destinations. A ski resort in the winter and a beautiful wilderness the rest of the year, Banff is one of the most pristine Canadian tourist spots. Home to Lake Louise, it's a short drive west of Calgary into the mountains. Reply #70. Feb 14 21, 12:52 PM |

Saw mention of this from a couple authors today (if they're looking for it). Happy to keep the trip open longer if anyone's looking to make stops. I certainly have plenty of them to make. :D A 6th trip might be in the cards in the near future. Reply #75. Jan 02 22, 9:28 AM |
