A Challenge to complete: My Home is My Castle (Misc)

As a scholar or beyond, it may be of special interest to you that, many years ago - around 2007, when badges were first introduced - there were two badges based on a long extinct concept of "bonus points". You may even have been around for long enough to have owned one of them.

Now, they were nothing special - but the images were well loved: Your own castle in Quizzyland. A smaller one and a larger one. Well, nothing is lost. We acquired some new land and - presto, we can build castles again! Yes, you can now upgrade your FunTrivia home into a real castle.

All it takes is some exotic materials and a bit of work - but that's where you come in. We've searched far and wide and found that you already have an extensive collection of things, but before we can send the artisans and craftspeople to build your personal stronghold, we need at least three items from the list below. To claim an item, all you need to do is author one quiz in the respective first-level subcategory. Do it three times and you can own one of the long-lost castles. All yours. [ 45 winners so far. ]

A Challenge to complete: Monthly Winner: The World Quiz (Misc)

Would you like to travel around the World for a month? Well, to be honest, I don't think this would be so much fun because I'd be spending way too much time crammed into economy airplane seats and way too little time actually sightseeing. So I have a better idea - just play the World Quiz for a month, do well, and we will give you a shiny passport stamp that proves you know all the continents - and as a bonus, you'll not generate any of that pesky carbon dioxide on the way either!

A Challenge to complete: Author (Very Difficult)

Introducing: The sure "get yourself a badge" cheat

Here's how you do it: Take three blank white boxes (with thin black borders) and paste them to the wall, one above the other. Write the numbers 100, 50 and 20 next to them, from top to bottom. Then, take one of those magic tick marks you can find next to each correct answer on this site (you do have enough of those, right?) and paint it red. Throw the tick mark at the boxes. If it falls down, go and write a quiz on FunTrivia (this is important), then pick up the tick mark and throw again. Repeat until the mark finally sticks to the bottom box (we expect this to take approximately 19.857 tries). Take a photo of the result and sneak it into your profile page - no one will know it's not a true author badge! [ 642 winners so far. ]
