Quiz Creation Challenge #08: 618 Day Anniversary!

+16
After a long year, QCC is back! And just in time for its 618th day, too.

For those of you who have never participated in a QCC before, or have just simply forgot how it works since last time, the premise is simple: I give you a topic for a quiz, and then you create a quiz based around said topic. After a while, I'll play your quizzes and pick my favourite ones. The winners and their quizzes will be posted on my JetPunk blog for all to see.

But for this challenge, I want to do something special to celebrate. Instead of having one theme to pick from... you'll have THREE themes! You can choose to create a quiz based around: Space, Animals, or Water! These three are my favourite themes from throughout the series which is why I've selected them for today. You can make your quiz about stars, mammals, water vehicles, or anything else tangentially related. You could even combine the themes together and make a quiz about Extraterrestrial Aquatic Animals!

One thing that is SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT for participants is to include #QCC618 somewhere in the title of your quiz. Additionally, you can put the URL to your quiz in the comments section of this post. It helps ensure that I find your quiz and is actually included in the contest.

The deadline for this contest is March 21st (the Monday after this post goes live), after which I will post the results... sometime after the submission period ends. I’d like to give my thoughts on some of the submissions so depending on how many people participate it might take longer or shorter than you'd expect. I'll be picking four winners: the best quiz from each category and my personal favourite quiz from all three. My favourite quiz will receive a spotlight from yours truly that I've been saving for this very occasion! I hope that everyone participating has fun challenging themselves to create fun, exciting quizzes.

One last thing... spread the word! A contest is no fun if it's just one or two people. I would like to see as many people participating as possible for a wide variety of quizzes!

Good luck, have fun, and may the best quiz maker win!

Just a side note, you can submit multiple quizzes if you'd like to. Just keep it to a reasonable amount of quizzes, like 3. Thanks :)

Wouldn't be a challenge if there were realistic time constraints lol :DD

I'll extend the deadline till next Monday. One week is the deadline I usually use, if I remember correctly.

Nice to see another quiz creation challenge! I'm kinda busy right now but I still might try drumming something up. On a side note, did you ever make a decision on the last QCC (Lights, Camera, Action!)? You still haven't published a blog for it, so just wondering what happened with that.

I’m trying to combine some of the topics into one. Sadly, I couldn’t find an elaborate list of animals sent into space.

Excellent! Glad to see you back on the RUB.

I'll share this blog on the French server. On its total of 90 members, it could bruing us more participants, and as we say in French, plus on est de fous, plus on rit.

I'll try to not break my streak of participation from the first to the last QCC, although I don't currently have an idea. But I guess that with a some thoughts, something, good or bad, should come out.

Thank you a lot for continuing the series!

Well, I opted for a childish style this time, but because of my lack of time and artistic talent, it looks like... well... try it and you will understand.

By the way, I was dispointed to not find an idea with all the three themes, only two (water and animals), so I also based my quiz on two other themes of past QCCs, movies and video games (which were my favourite QCCs), to compensate the absence of space in my quiz.

I hope you will enjoy my submission for this QCC (I could try to create another quiz, but I don't know if I'll have time, so I prefer to go with the one I work the most on, this one).

Thanks again for organizing!
