Subject: Transit Maintenance - COMPLETE
Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Jan 16 22
Hello everyone--
You've no doubt taken trips on FunTrivia's Bus Ride. Some of you, perhaps, have taken more rides than others. It should come as no surprise that, over the years, some stops may have been a bit repetitive. With the Bus Ride running for (what) twelve years now(?), it just seems that some countries get more love than others for new trivia.
With this in mind, we're aiming to perform a bit of a refresh, in some cases closing down the old bus stops and installing new ones along the route. It's all the same countries, but it's time to make some long-needed transit maintenance happen, especially since we have so many new quiz types.
In this thread here, we have thirty different nations, the first set of countries that, based on our current infrastructure and surveying, need new quizzes. Working together, it's time to accomplish the challenge. A few requirements, however:
Variety is the spice of life! We're aiming to create a dynamic Bus Ride that takes a look at the many unique facets of the nations visited. This means that in addition to Geography quizzes, which are generally the go-to, there is a likelihood that new quizzes in the World category (eg. cultures) or the General category (eg. Mixed Countries) or similar will be a good fit. At least ten of the countries below must be in categories that aren't Geography.
Speaking on variety again, we have so many new quiz types that it doesn't make sense not to employ them. 5 quizzes submitted for this challenge must be Label Quizzes; 5 must be Order Quizzes; 5 must be Classification Quizzes.
As a reminder, the quizzes used on the Bus Ride must be country-specific. If the option is for the Czech Republic, then a quiz solely about Prague isn't necessarily going to make the grade.
Below are the thirty countries we're aiming to work at. Most of these haven't had replacement quizzes since the Bus Ride started. Selections are first-come-first-serve and you may claim additional countries when your previous ones have gone online.

South Korea is my safest bet then, Korean food is pretty big in the US (and here), so I'll take it as a non-geography quiz. I can't do label, order or classification though - classification might be too hard and label is impossible as I can't use Photoshop, so I was thinking of doing a photo quiz? Reply #21.

That would be my choice - give players a chance to enjoy the visual! Reply #22. Mar 04 22, 6:05 PM |

If you are planning to use a map of South Korea, you don't need Photoshop. Have a look at my quiz on Italian regions if you like - that's a blank map I found on Wikipedia Commons (public domain), modified with Microsoft Paint. Reply #23. Mar 04 22, 6:14 PM |

I'm rubbish with Paint as well. I'd rather do a photo quiz. Reply #26. Mar 05 22, 2:56 PM |

I am working on an Order quiz for the US. It will be Geo, but at least it will use this new format. Reply #30. Mar 11 22, 5:06 AM |

As a warning to new authors to this, watch out that you're starting to fulfill some of the extra requirements of the challenge (ie. newer formats and non-Geo) since we're going to get to a point where we'll be locked to those. ;) Reply #32. Mar 17 22, 11:14 AM |

This said I'll take Nepal and Geography, but I'll make it Classification. Reply #33. Mar 17 22, 11:16 AM |

My South Africa quiz will also be Classification, and it will probably fit into General (or maybe World, depending on the editor). Reply #34. Mar 17 22, 12:35 PM |

I'll take Grenada next. I'm planning to make it an order quiz in history. Reply #35. Mar 17 22, 7:52 PM |

Here is my South Africa quiz: https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/South-Africas-Three-Capitals-408472.html I originally put it in General, but with the wisdom of the editors, it was moved to Geography. Reply #38. Mar 27 22, 12:49 PM |

Here’s my offering, all about Japan. It’s in History and it is an ordering quiz, so it ticks off two of the boxes. https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/History/Japan---A-Tour-Through-Its-History-407907.html Enjoy! Reply #39. Apr 20 22, 9:38 AM |
