Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I want to travel to San Andreas. I can drive around, steal cars, complete missions and listen to some tunes. My travel agent looks at me like I have just sprouted an extra head - "That place only exists in a video game you fool" he says.
In which video game franchise will I be able to visit San Andreas on the screen, yet not visit in real life?

To which video game franchise does this game belong?
3. There are a small handful of games I could play if I wanted to visit Sao Paulo, Brazil, from the comfort of my own home.

7. There are several video games set in London, UK, (or are based on London) but the titles would make it too obvious to answer this question!

8. The next major city to have a slew of video games based there is Paris, France. Which video game franchise (with settings in Paris) has the sub titles: 'The Smoking Mirror', 'The Shadow of the Templars' and 'The Sleeping Dragon'? (Hint: possibly an unusable fighting implement?)
