🌍 About This Project
This project is dedicated to all sea, land and Google Earth travelers, and anyone who loves to challenge their knowledge of our little blue planet by solving a weekly geo-quiz challenge.
- The goal of this project is to connect travelers and satisfy their wanderlust with a little bit of intellectual thrill along the way.
- The mission of this project is to boost engagement, reward outstanding travel content, and with time, grow into a daily game for all to participate and win rewards.
🎯 Where We're Headed:
We're working on GeoQuiz dApp that will eventually be another front-end to attract new users to HIVE. Some might not know this, but Geo-Quizes are no longer just fun little internet games - the game has evolved into a giant global tournament, with ranked players who can deduce the correct location on the globe by literally analyzing the grass, signs and shadows on the side of the road. They are paid celebrities in the world of 'pin-dropping'.
How amazing would it be to bring them on to HIVE, or create a whole new successful userbase of players in parallel?!
Don't believe me? Here is an example:
While this project is in its very infancy, it was already a success on @knOt, back when it was focused on maritime geo-quiz (which will also come back soon)
✍️ Travel Content Curation:
Another goal of this project is to improve the quality of travel content and help connect creators by setting a higher standard.
It's important not just to share your experiences, but also to share useful and practical information for future travelers.
Things like prices, distances and routes, customs restrictions, and other travel tips all contribute to a great post!
If you'd like to submit your travel blog for curation, add the hashtag #WhereOnEarth, and your post will be read and reviewed for a potential upvote and reblog.
To qualify, your blog must:
- Use the tag #WhereOnEarth
- Be +500 words
- Include good-quality photos
- Include GPS coordinates or a Google Maps screenshot
Follow @GeoQuiz for more future contests, and re-posts by other travelers.

CONGRATULATIONS @oldmans, Your pinpoint was the exact location! YOU WON 4 HBD! Stay tuned for today's new Geo-Quiz!
Wow! Thank you very much! I wasn't sure I would be that close. The spine of the ridge leading to the top helped me get there. :)
Yes you were spot on! I might have to up the difficulty levels. 🤔
Thank you! Entry accepted!
had a bit of a fiasco with the sending, but please don't worry, all is good.

That's my guess
Thank you! Entry accepted!
I have absolute no idea and no experience in games like this, but it sounds funny.

I hope my guess has the correct format. 😅
Yes! that is perfect! Entry accepted!
I love the idea of this, but Whats the sustainable way to keep getting hbd prizes going forward? :D
for now, I'll be sponsoring the game... I think we need more fun here too.. Don't you?
So no worries... if people continue to play, ill make sure there's funds to pay out for the game. So even if "no whale" shows up, we will be alright.
Thats neat!
I would suggest to put the hdb earned from the posts into the savings fund, so it can pay for itself long term from the interest or just as a buffer ^^
But yes, we 100% need more fun here on Hive no doubt!
So I used some of my Ecency points to get 200hp delegated to geoquiz for 7 days.
Not much, but a start :D
@cwow2, thank you so much for the support!
Your question is very valid. Currently @meno and I are pulling some resources to get this project going, but I truly believe that in a short time this game will reach more Hiveans, and will accrue enough upvotes to sustain itself and give out prizes.
This is my hope... won't know for sure unless I try.
Again thank you for the delegation! This already will make my little green account look more serious.
I'm sure they will love it...
Congratulations @geoquiz! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain And have been rewarded with New badge(s)
Your next target is to reach 200 upvotes.
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking
