Have you renewed your passport lately?
With travel back in action, we're bring back our Globetrot Trivia Challenges. We'll travel to fifteen different locations and, using those sites as inspiration, provide quizzes to suit. This adventure around Earth will bring us to new and exciting destinations, most of which will be brand-new to the Globetrot Trivia roster.
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.
So if we use an example: ‘The Sphinx, Egypt'. This means we need to queue two quizzes— anyone can submit them— before we continue on. The quizzes can be about the landmark or about riddles or about the Giza Plateau or on and on and on. 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 Canada and ended the route in Canada again. This time, we're off to China.
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 as noted in the past, all quizzes submitted for the Globetrot challenges will play a strong part in a future game for the site. The more we see, the better it is!
Safe travels!

Half a year later, I have finally caught up with the tour. https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/people/menelik-ii-emperor-of-ethiopia-413097.html A photo quiz on Lalibela is in the works. Reply #23. Jul 09 23, 1:52 PM |

It's the other side of Africa! The next destination in the trip is going to be the nation of Senegal, a French-speaking, coastal destination with a storied history. It's the western edge of the continent, the original ending point of the Dakar Rally, a nation of seafood dishes, and a unique melting pot of cultures. And it's also the spot to focus your quizzes.

My Senegal-inspired quiz has been outlined, and will be my weekend project. Anyone else want to come along for the ride? Reply #29. Jul 19 23, 2:05 PM |

If it's any inspiration, originally this stop was going to be the more-specific Île de Gorée in Dakar. While we won't be stopping there specifically (we'll head to another continent instead), it'd be an interesting starting point for a quiz. Reply #30. Jul 19 23, 4:48 PM |

Île de Gorée is on my ideas list. Meanwhile, here is my Senegal offering. https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/world/national-anthems-of-africa-20055.html Reply #31. Jul 22 23, 3:41 PM |

And with that we'll ditch the heat and keep the language by flying northeast to the French island of Corsica. This Mediterranean destination contains beautiful harbours, stunning and rocky coastlines, granite mountains, and the hometown of Napoleon Bonaparte. It's a destination with French and Italian influences and it's the sixth spot on this tour. Reply #32. Jul 22 23, 6:41 PM |

Too bad I had this already submitted last month, as it would have earned me that lovely Mondrian picture for my gallery. https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/geography/islands-of-the-mediterranean-413279.html Reply #33. Aug 01 23, 2:02 PM |

Alrighty then, we're heading onward to the mainland and visiting the Hungarian capital of Budapest for our next stop. Straddling the Danube, you could go in any direction upon your arrival here, at least looking for a quiz topic, because it's a nation of major historical significance, it has a skyline of castles and palaces, it's a major sporting hub, and it's a unique food destination. Hungary for trivia? Hope so! Reply #35. Aug 15 23, 10:36 AM |

I wrote a nice quiz on Hungary (adopted) some time ago, but I suppose it can't be qualify retroactively :D. Reply #36. Aug 15 23, 12:25 PM |

Unfortunately nothing retroactive for these. Aim is to create new quizzes to fit the brief, otherwise we set a weird precedent. ;) Reply #37. Aug 15 23, 4:07 PM |

I know :D! It was more of a joke than anything serious. As I have visited Hungary a couple of times, I think I can make an effort and write about a different aspect of the country :D. Reply #38. Aug 15 23, 4:34 PM |
