Exploring the world (at a distance)
May 19, 2020
If you're anything like me, you're counting down the minutes until you're able to go outside and explore what the world has to offer. I have an wild travel bug and it is currently going stir crazy.
As we are experiencing the world from a safe distance, it is important to remind ourselves that the world is still turning - there’s a whole cyber world that we can explore from the comfort of our sofas (or beds). Here are a few simple ways to explore and learn about the world from a distance:
Test your knowledge with trivia
Want to expand your random knowledge in order to have a cool party trick? All you have to do is tune into HQ Trivia. It is as simple as searching up HQ Trivia into your App Store and pressing download!
Steps:
- Download HQ Trivia – Game Show.
- Tune into HQ every day to answer trivia questions and solve the challenges from easy to hard.
- Invite some friends to join the fun.
