An example of what the trivia treasure hunt will find
The current month's quiz has a picture in it's 20th Century Architecture section in the Arts Category and it is a picture of a building that is shaped like a ship. Complete Trivia has it all.
The clues are it's shape - the fact that it is ship shaped, that it was built in the 20th century, that it has an outside elevator and a penthouse and a balcony probably overlooking a view and it isn't in among a lot of city buildings but as there is a skyscraper in the background it is probably on the outskirts of a city.I started my search with ship shaped building, I added outside elevator, I added penthouse, I tried liner rather than ship and I have been searching for two hours without a result. Could someone please give me another clue!
I tried building, shape, shaped, ship, architecture, liner, all those together and a few other combinations, still no result. This is a tough one.
The thing about this trivia treasure hunt is that the answer isn't all there is to find. While you are looking for this as you are actually surfing the web and reading, you never know what you may find. Here's some interesting sites I found today by looking for a ship shaped building.

Who would have thought there would be so many ship shaped buildings? Or that you can search the internet and view so many sites and still not find that elusive one that you need to answer the question. I have to admit that it doesn't usually take so long to find an answer but now and then you get a question that almost beats you.
Now this isn't the end - if you don't have the persistence of a dog wanting a pat when you come home. It's your choice to persist endlessly or to pass if you get stuck. There's no shame in passing, if you can't get through on the second question are you going to look for a month and miss out on 488 more? It's just that you can't come back to the question and answer it later. So you can't get a perfect score. Without a perfect score you can't win first place - but first isn't everything.You can still win prizes by simply completing a set number of questions.
Let's face it, first can only be won by one person. Complete Trivia sends you to places you'd never think to search for. You spend a few hours looking for something, try different combinations of keywords, different search engines, visit authority sites with internal search facilities and you try. In the process it's fun, frustrating, fascinating and sometimes fruitless.
But you go back to the quiz and you get another question , then you get on a roll and answer a few questions easily and start to think you're smart again. With this subscription quiz, you know you will always have something to do that keeps the mind active and entertained, and as a bonus by product - knowledgeable. Who would think to look for ship shaped buildings otherwise? That's trivia - that's Complete Trivia!
