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!

While I was considering the UAE, I got an idea for the next stop, and did it first. Here's #7. https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/Living-on-Borrowed-Land-408520.htmlReply #81. Mar 22 22, 11:58 AM |

Would our team quiz (managed by myself) qualify for the Andes? https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/General/The-Phoenix-Regenerates-in-Peru-408544.html Reply #83. Mar 29 22, 3:57 AM |

While I wasn't looking, back in the '60s, Tanganyika disappeared. But Tanzania is still there, and so is the quiz. Now to contemplate the Nile. https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Literature/African-Tales-408697.html Reply #84. Apr 10 22, 7:30 PM |

I seem to have skipped the Nile, and proceeded straight to the Sphinx. https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Literature/Oedipus-Rex-408923.html Reply #85. Nov 06 22, 10:17 PM |
