52 out of 55. Decent quiz, I enjoyed that. Thought the Hell pit was in Uzbekistan for some reason. I thought the island of spice was Cuba… Idiot Knew Callanish was Scottish but answered as Ireland when doing the quiz.

That’s a great effort Craig, well done!

I didn’t do too well, but enjoyed it a lot. Just one small point: Germany’s flag is made up of the colours red, black and gold, not yellow. It dates back to the Prussian resistance against Napoleonic rule. Volunteer soldiers wore black uniforms with red buttons and golden trimmings. The colours became a symbol of freedom and nation. Thanks for the great quiz.

Thanks for the comment Jean. I’m glad you enjoyed the quiz, and it’s always good to have a bit more background information on Germany!

@Jean, Good photograph took. Thank you.

Santosh Saha

That was really fun idea. Although I didn’t do well on your test but it was actually really fun to learn new things about the world.

Hope to see your coming blog. Thanks for the post.

@Pradip Karki, Send me more quizzes. Thank you.

Travel Quiz Questions: Ultimate Travel Trivia to Play With Friends

Posted on February 9, 2021

Categories Blog , Resources

These travel quiz questions and answers will help you host the ultimate game of trivia. Whether it’s a house party or a Zoom party, I’m a massive fan of games nights with friends. Insert the topic of travel into the mix and I’m sold! While trivia might be a popular pub game, it’s really easy to take part at home, too. I’ve developed these fun travel trivia questions so you can play your own game of trivia with your friends no matter where you are in the world.

I’m going to start by posting the full list of travel trivia questions. I’ll put them into three categories: easy, medium, and hard difficulty. Then, I’ll post the travel quiz questions and answers at the bottom of this blog post. If you’re interested in challenging yourself to this online travel quiz, you can see how many you got right.

Travel Trivia Questions for a Game With Friends

During these times where it isn’t possible to see friends in person, my group of friends took part in a weekly games night. We simply called it our “Friday Night Games Night” and met over Zoom or Discord to play some games together. We’ve played lots of games together, like Jackbox TV, virtual escape rooms, Among Us, and others.

We eventually got a bit tired of the games we continually played each week. So, the group decided to do a classic game of trivia. The best thing about quiz games? They’re not just for trivia night at the pub! You can easily come up with your own questions and categories, catered specifically to your interests and expertise.

It’s possible to host trivia nights when you gather with your friends, whether it’s over Zoom or in person. You can play this online travel quiz with your long distance pals, too.

Hosting a Trivia Game Night

Whether it’s in person or online, you’ll need to decide whether or not you want to play travel trivia games or a broader game of trivia with many categories. For us, we decided that each player would ask questions based on a topic.

For instance, I had the topic of travel and geography. All of the geography quiz questions that you’ll see below are the ones that I used in the game. Each person came up with their own trivia questions and answers. Some other fun categories could include: history, science, entertainment, food, music, sports, current events, pop culture, and more! Do you want to ask only travel trivia questions or expand to several categories? That’s all up to you.

One person will keep score throughout the game. In our game, we decided that the first person to correctly answer questions within each category would win. We each took turns requesting questions in our categories of choice.

We had three levels of difficulty: easy, medium, and hard. Our group started with the easy questions. Once we had a winner for the easy category overall, we moved on to the medium questions, and ended with the hard questions.

Travel Quiz Questions for Around the World Trivia

Alright, let’s get to the game! Feel free to steal these questions for your own version of my “Friday Night Games Night”. If you plan to use these travel quiz questions with your friends, I suggest that only one person has access to the questions and answers to minimize access to the answer key.

Even if you don’t have a games night planned with your pals, feel free to challenge yourself with these travel quiz questions and answers. Try to answer all of the questions below and see how many you get right. You’ll likely learn some new and interesting geography facts along the way, too. Test yourself with these ultimate quiz on travel!

It doesn't look like travelling is something that we should be doing for a while, and unfortunately for some, that might just fill you with FOMO! The internet has a funny way of just flooding you with wanderlust and travel inspiration, even at a time when that may or may not be a bit counter-intuitive...

The aim of this blog post is definitely not that!

Instead of inspiring wanderlust and the desire to hit the road, we hope that this pub quiz proves a great way to get together with friends (online, not in person), spend time with family and all have a fun time when we might all need just that!

How's This Pub Quiz Going To Work??

The rounds are made up of a variety of different topics, areas of the world and ease of questions too... Including some questions that should please everyone playing, and some questions that might be a bit more challenging...

We've also thrown in some interesting facts & trivia with all of the answers as well!
