WHERE AM I? --Travel Game

glad you asked that, fealola! Had me bushed!

margo: Not the US

fealola: I guess you're right....especially when it's only 20 questions. *not using the old noodle here*

Ooops! Didn't see your post Clary. Is is more palatial.

S. America?

Not South America

Country, city/town, name of building...you know the drill.

Bonus points for describing a bit of interesting history related to something found inside the building. (Hope that doesn't sound too obscure.)




Not South America
Not in the US
Not in Europe
Not in Canada
Not in Australia
Not inspired by the White House
Not: a government building or library. I believe the building is likely owned and operated by the government (I don't know this for an absolute fact, but it's likely true) so in that sense it may be considered a government building, but its function is not to house government as, say, the House of Representatives in the U.S.

Clary's palatial comment was speculation. (Won't count that as a question this time even though Caprice answered it by saying it's more palatial than... ?a government building?) Try to answer questions only. Hints may be asked for at 10 questions.

Guesses:

Not:

Not Leinster House

11 questions to go

Whew!

Central America?

Not Central America.

Asia?

fealola: I need enlightenment. How does the guessing work in terms of being counted as a question? Just looking over at "Animal, Vegetable, Mineral" I gather that exact guesses (i.e. Is this the White House?) aren't counted, but questions about the location are?

*confuddled*

Yes, Asia

Good question. Kind of have to play it by ear. The person posting the picture sets up what they want answered. You asked for: Country, city/town, name of building, so the winner must nail all three.

I counted equus's specific builing guess as a guess, and as a question. because, had he been correct, we could continue to guess the rest since part of the question would have been answered. But who ever nails all three is the winner. I would count church, govt. builing museum etc. as questions since they are general and are asked just to narrow it down. But since equus named the building--he is guessing part of the answer.

Ah, but now I think I see what you are asking: A WRONG guess or question that names specifically something you are asking for (like the name of the building) would would be counted (1 point as a question) but listed as a guess for reference. If he had guessed the building correctly, I wouldn't take off a point.

This is a wild guess and would be one point if wrong:

Culd it be the former home of the Marcos famoily in Manila, Phillipines?

fealola: Thanks for explaining. I think I understand.

And no, it is not the former home of the Marcos family in Manila, Philippines. It is not in the Philippines at all.

Let me think of an appropriate hint and I'll get back to you all.

I don't know if I understand! (I invoke the play it by ear clause!!

(we're supposed to ask for a hint if we want one.)

Oh, okay, then I will not post a hint, until asked for one. *grin*

I'm not ready for one yet!!! (but I'm a glutton for punishment)

But anyone who wants to can ask.

India?

Thailand?
