Subject: **The FunTrivia Collection**
Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Sep 19 22
Every once in a while, here in the Author Lounge, we have some ambitious projects that stretch the limits and capabilities of our quiz-writers in ways that haven't been done. We've put our authors through Races, Gauntlets, Commissions, and Challenges of all sorts. Now it's time for us to create 'The Collection'.
The premise is simple: Create a collection of quizzes-- a capsule collection if you will-- that takes simple premises and executes them with diverse ideas, strong writing, and an eye for featured play. We want to create a set of quizzes that touch on trivia accessibly and with care. And we want to make it a big collection.
The Collection will consist of a number of rounds, one at a time, and each round will require that five quizzes be written.
Each round must feature five different authors, and those authors are not eligible to complete the proceeding round.
Only when all five quizzes are written and placed online will the subsequent round be posted.
All quizzes must be created on new templates and they can not count for other active challenges occurring in the Author Lounge unless otherwise specified.
This is a group effort-- we're all working together to make this collection work. Remember: the key to this one is accessibility. We're aiming to create quizzes that anyone can play!
CHALLENGE #1
To kick things off, let’s start at the very beginning. For this challenge, authors must submit quizzes with titles that begin with the word ‘FIRST’ or contain the word ‘FIRSTS’. Someone’s gotta be the one to begin it all, right?

I take this to imply that we're treating Baku as an Asian city for the sake of the challenge. Reply #24. Nov 26 22, 11:41 AM |

Does South America qualify as a separate continent for this challenge? I Because my quiz about Buenos Aires just went online, and I never really asked if it would fit the criteria. https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/geography/buenos-aires-a-fascinating-city-411052.htmlReply #28. Dec 13 22, 10:05 AM |

I'd say that "Risk" considers South America to be a separate continent and that's good enough for me! :) Reply #29. Dec 13 22, 10:14 AM |

Does it have to focus on the entire decade or can it be a year that was in that decade? Reply #40. Jan 23 23, 1:25 PM |
