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.

Final post, I promise: I'd like to claim Guinea as I've come up with an idea for a classification quiz, AND it's in People, so not Geography. Reply #50. Jul 07 22, 6:25 AM |

No need for it to be final post-- it's not a bother to be involved! :D Reply #51. Jul 07 22, 8:52 AM |

I wonder if this quiz (a team quiz, though I was the manager) might qualify for North Korea. It is a quiz on the physical geography of the whole Korean Peninsula: https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/Korea-Geographically-409611.html Reply #52. Jul 11 22, 4:33 PM |

LadyNym, that is a really nice quiz, but it is unfortunately not clearly enough focused on North Korea. (We have similar issues with quizzes about the entire island of Ireland.) I spent some time trying to convince myself that it would work, but finally decided no. Reply #54. Jul 12 22, 2:12 PM |

Although for this challenge, it can probably pass muster - it does include a fair bit of North Korea! Reply #55. Jul 12 22, 2:13 PM |

LT, I gave it a try because it was worth it :D. It's not the end of the world if it is not included! I have finally started writing my Iran quiz, which is a non-Geo photo quiz, and hopefully will be ready in the next few days. Reply #56. Jul 12 22, 4:37 PM |

And Iran is here: https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Hobbies/An-Invitation-to-the-Iranian-Table-409333.html I'll take Eritrea next! I already have an idea for a quiz. Reply #57. Jul 17 22, 4:13 AM |
