For some mysterious reason, one of my recent local travel trivia games was exceptionally popular. So I thought you might like a handy link to all the past games, all in one place. (You can also just type “trivia” into the search bar at the top of the page, and they’ll all come up.)
Enjoy testing your knowledge of Ontario, Quebec and New York state!

Looking over this list, I realize I have a few themes. Apparently, I really like castles. And boats. And trains. But I think there’s a little something here for everyone.
I’ll try to remember to keep updating the list each month—because I’m going to keep doing these games as long as the pandemic lasts (or until I run out of ideas). That reminds me: If you know of a quirky bit of trivia about our region, let me know in the comments and I’ll see whether I can work it into a future game. Thanks!
