Subject: Bus Ride Renewal Challenge
Posted by: Terry
Date: Mar 16 10
While the replacement of low-ranked quizzes is a continuing goal, preparation of extra quizzes to introduce variety for the tourists is also important now that the Bus Ride is well-established. Some tourists have been around the world over ten times, and even nice quizzes get repetitive. The lowest-ranked quiz currently used for the tour has a ranking that is roughly in the top third of all quizzes, so replacement is not an urgent matter, but we would still like to have new quizzes of a suitable quality to use as replacements, to provide a bit of diversity for those players who have played every day since the beginning, and who have probably memorised the answers to the current quizzes.
If you create a new quiz on a Bus Ride country, get it placed online, and have it place within a reasonable ranking, it may be rotated in to provide a more diverse program. Should your quiz manage a higher ranking than the current entry, it could become the permanent fixture, waiting for a future challenger. As an added bonus, we have modified the ratings system to give all quizzes in our rotation a ratings bump.
Feel free to use this thread to also "claim" a country so that you don't duplicate someone else's effort, and make sure to follow along with our later posts and updates to make sure that everything is in order. We look forward to seeing what you can come up with!
This link will show you what the ranking is for each of our current country quizzes.

Has anyone claimed Mali? If not, I'd like to do it. Reply #681. Jun 16 11, 2:07 PM |

Mali has a replacement available, but could use a second for purposes of alternation. Reply #682. Jun 17 11, 8:31 PM |

I have been MIA for awhile but I am doing to do a fabulous St Lucia quiz if possible. I've been there once, so it won't take me long. Keep you posted when it is done! Reply #683. Jun 23 11, 2:07 PM |

Just played the Madagascar quiz for today's bus ride and it is all about history. Good quiz, but not at all about Geography. Hope a new Geography Madagascar quiz can go online soon! Reply #684. Jun 26 11, 3:21 PM |

On the principle that photos make countries come alive, I am adding this quiz as a pssible alternate for Mexico. There was already something viable, but I will check to see if this looks like a better option once it hashad a few plays. I enjoyed it, anway :) http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/Once-Upon-a-Time-in-Mexico-340197.html Reply #685. Jul 19 11, 9:21 PM |

I think that, with regard to Katie's comment above, it is important to note that Bus Ride quizzes can be in any category at all and not just in Geography. In fact, as much variety as possible should be encouraged in order to keep the experience of taking the ride as fresh as can be. Reply #686. Jul 23 11, 12:24 AM |

'Lost in Norway' has been submitted at last to the rather long World queue. That's the longest I've ever taken over a quiz, but I lost the vibe for a while. Reply #688. Aug 08 11, 4:17 AM |

Where do you plan to get lost next, Rossian? There are still a lot of countries in need! Reply #690. Aug 11 11, 12:58 PM |

I'll look at my trusty map at the usual cock-eyed angle and see where it sends me! There are so many possibilities. Reply #692. Aug 11 11, 1:49 PM |

Just a few questions left and we can visit Bahrain once again! :-) Reply #693. Aug 11 11, 2:08 PM |

Bahrain is really small. Tough to find good, answerable questions. lol. It's coming, though, and should be submitted within the hour. Reply #694. Aug 11 11, 2:38 PM |

And it is submitted and waiting for editor approval! Reply #695. Aug 11 11, 2:49 PM |

Not listed, but just in case Terry decides to expand the tour to include South Sudan, I am writing a quiz on it. Also, the authors of several of the highest-rated Sudan quizzes have been contacted about adjusting their quizzes in light of recent developments - the demographics are quite different, the highest point has changed, etc. I'm posting so people will know that hasn't been overlooked! As is the case for every country, we would really like to have at least two quizzes from which to choose. Reply #696. Aug 15 11, 1:48 PM |

I'll lose myself in San Marino next. It'll be difficult, as it's so small - I should be able to walk out in a few days! Reply #698. Aug 17 11, 8:00 AM |

Haha, you might walk through it, trying to look for it. ;-) I will be taking Ecuador, by the way. Reply #699. Aug 17 11, 8:08 AM |

This looks like a nice alternative for Bahrain. http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Geography/Racking-My-Bahrain-338441.html Reply #700. Aug 19 11, 2:08 AM |
