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.

If you have a particular landmark in mind and we can create an icon then we can add...

Comment has been collapsed.

I was mostly joking and wanted to use the Drawn Together clip but it seemed a bit weird considering Europe 1 & 2 seem to be split by location.

I was wondering myself. There are lots of stuff worth checking out (roughly 1/3 of our GDP comes from tourism) but I'm not exactly sure which one(s) are the most iconic / well-known around the world.

A few of the first things I could think of are:

  • St. Stephen's Cathedral (Vienna)
  • Belvedere (Palace / Vienna)
  • Schönbrunn (Palace / Vienna)
  • Mönchsberg (Salzburg)
  • Wyvern-fountain (Klagenfurt)
  • Golden roof (Linz)

I'm probably forgetting lots of iconic stuff and I haven't even touched natural monuments but there's just soo much to see. Maybe something music related would make sense too since classical music still draws in a lot of tourists, particularly from Asia.

On the other hand maybe it makes sense not adding Austria to the list since I'm not sure how many active austrian SteamGifters there are on the forums (and I'm not into puzzles / barely active lately). Just wanted to point it out ;)

I didn't pick the landmarks... I just found a batch of icons of 250 world landmarks and decided to make an event from it...

And they are split by continent then alphabetically by country and city...

Don't worry, it's hard to please everyone ;) Plus it's important to have a healthy mix of different types of landmarks.

This seems like an awesome idea, the events are always so creative and it's amazing to see people both working and participating in them. I've never been part of creating an event, so I wouldn't be able to make a super difficult puzzle. If me being a noob wouldn't be a problem, then I'd like to take part in this! I'd take any of these: 78 (British Museum), 196 (Hachikō), or 194 (Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park). Let me know! :)

We love puzzles of all kinds.... not super difficult especially...

This event will be more educational and an experience like touring the world together... there will be all kinds of different creative ideas that will be on this event.

I'll assign you those 3 you want but they aren't due until next year... you may like to also pick something from the first list above during Oct-Dec to get started... it's not required that you love there or have visited... just that you are interested in making that landmark come alive for us creatively...

Thanks for volunteering!

Hey Jeffhowe... I can not guarantee but it seems like I will be available to help out sometime starting Mid October. That is when my Cricket Playing season end here and I expect to get more time free from practices and games. If any spots are not filled by that time, I'll take it. I'll have to research any of the Europe landmarks on the net so my puzzles may be simple but whatever I can do to help.

Just trying the best I can. Thanks for all the work you are doing.
