Welcome to the first event planning thread for the Steamgifts Famous World Landmarks-- EUROPE Part 1!

Many may remember me saying how nice it would be if we as a group "toured" the world together in a large-scale event! Well we have 250 landmarks around the world to visit together and it will take a year and a half to finish our travels together. I've divided the 250 landmarks into the main continent areas and planned out a schedule as follows:

Event Locations No. of Landmarks Goal date to go live
Event 1 EUROPE Part 1 46 October 2017 1st week
Event 2 EUROPE Part 2 45 January 2018 1st week
Event 3 North America 36 April 2018 1st week
Event 4 South America & Mexico 30 June 2018 1st week
Event 5 ASIA Part 1 33 Aug 2018 1st week
Event 6 ASIA Part 2 33 Oct 2018 1st week
Event 7 AFRICA & OCEANIA & EURASIA 14 + 8 + 5 = 27 Dec 2018 1st week

Looking for volunteers to:

CREATE PUZZLES:

  • Take from 1-3 of the landmarks on the list and be responsible to create a puzzle for each of your assigned landmarks.
  • Come up with a creative way for everyone to "visit", "experience", and learn about this landmark together.
  • At the least you can create an itstoohard puzzle with no more than 10 questions about the landmark.
  • Make it as puzzely or not as you wish... the goal is more for us to learn and experience and not make others be "stuck" in difficult puzzles.
  • NOTE: it may be nice if you pick a location you live or have visited before and share your experience.
  • You may choose to have a GA or GAs after your puzzle or have none. (Each puzzle solved will give passcodes for reward trains later)

DONATE TRAINS or individual GAs:

  • Volunteer to donate a reward train to be accessible after various stages of the event
  • Volunteer to donate single GAs that can be put on a reward list of GAs

The success of the event depends on all of us joining in on the creation of it and also everyone solving the creation and experiencing the result together! THANKS ahead of time for your part! Note: HERE is an example of a previous puzzle event I helped put on that had creative volunteers that proved to be a big success!

So ready to pick one or 2 or 3 landmarks and get to creating?? Reply to this thread the landmark(s) that you are interested in taking.

I think it would be useful to create some guidelines considering answers formatting and hints for answers format... I see this as a big problem recently, which is making these nice puzzles a rather frustrating experience sometimes... Shipka Memorial is a good example of how it should be done.

Yea-- sad to see that Shipka had 154 solvers and the most recent ones about 20 ...

Seems like format frustration can really cut the popularity of the puzzles.

Just ran into something like that on The Tomb of Hadrian.
Typing "quotation marks" from American English keyboard, answers are wrong.
Copying “Quotation Marks” from the puzzle text, answers are correct.

Above it says "13 Trains can be accessed from the below chart". I'm a little bit confused as to where to find these 13 trains as I can't see any 13 link table or something like that.

I think N.19 by IAmZorglub is too hard to me. I didn't decrypt any message before. I hope he can tell me some skill to decrypt the message.

Just wondering... what about the ITH for week 3 and 4 of November (as well as those for december)? Seems like at least one puzzle (I only did one, 29, yet) for weeks 3 has already ended and its thread was recently closed.

That was my thread, I've re-opened it. My giveaway had ended and I didn't want people to go through the quiz only to find they couldn't enter the giveaway.
It's now open with a note to say that people should only enter to try for the weekly code. Sorry for the downtime.
