- Road Rally Trivia is a trivia game
- with a twist. Instead of just answer-
- ing a series of questions and getting a
- raw score, Road Rally Trivia combines
- the mental exercise of Jeopardy with
- the fun of a Road Rally.
-
- Your object is to travel from New
- York City's JFK Airport, to St. Louis
- Missouri. (An extended version will
- allow you to journey all the way to Los
- Angeles) In order to progress from city
- to city, you must answer trivia quest-
- ions. With a correct answer, the game
- will provide you with route options.
- Select the route you wish to travel,
- and you will be taken to the next city
- on that route. (approximately)
-
- A good idea is to have a Road
- Atlas handy to help select the route
- you wish to travel. The difficulty of
- the trivia questions, and the amount
- of fuel used is dependant upon the
- type of route you've chosen to travel.
-
- Unlike many trivia games, you
- must answer the questions in order
- to proceed. This causes Road Rally
- Trivia to be somewhat like a scavenger
- hunt. While you may be able to reach
- a city like St. Louis in only sixty
- turns, you MUST find the answers to
- those sixty questions.
-
- Fortunately, the game allows you
- to save your place so you can take a
- break in order to find a particular
- answer, but then, if your GOOD, you
- may not need to scavenge an answer at
- all!
-
- That being said, all is not lost.
- If a particular question is just too
- troublesome to answer, you may use a
- roadside callbox to call Triple R and
- have them send out a tow truck to haul
- you back to a previous city. This can
- get you a different question, but you
- now have to re-trace your hard earned
- route! Or maybe take an alternate one.
-
- Keep an eye on the gas gauge! If
- you run out of gas, Triple R, (Road
- Rally Rescue) will have to come and
- tow you back to a previous city. If
- you feel you need gas, clicking on the
- GAS icon will allow you the chance to
- get some; however, you have to answer
- a question first! (you didn't think it
- would be that easy did you?) For gas,
- the questions aren't trivia, but brain
- teasers. If you can't answer the GAS
- teaser, Triple R can be called, but by
- now you know the drawbacks.
-
- Also watch the billboard display
- at the lower right. Certain routes
- ask questions on a specific topic.
- These are usually announced in advance
- on the billboard.
-
-
-
-
- Interstate Icon
-
- Generally the quickest route
- between cities, but it costs
- the most in terms of fuel.
- Driving by interstate also
- causes Road Rally Trivia to ask more
- difficult questions!
-
-
-
-
-
- U.S. Highway Icon
-
- The great american highway
- system has much to offer.
- It's costly on fuel, but not
- as bad as going by inter-
- state. The questions are not as diff-
- icult either, but you'll have to visit
- more cities traveling this way.
-
-
-
- State Road Icon
-
- Travel in relative ease on
- state roads. Fairly easy
- on fuel, these routes offer
- easier questions as well.
- Of course, your going to stop in many
- more cities along the way, but hey,
- at least your making progress!
-
-
-
-
- County Road Icon
-
- Travel in leisurely abandon
- on back county roads! Take
- the country at a slow pace.
- It's efficient on fuel, and
- you get to visit every town and hovel
- on the way. The questions don't get
- any easier than this, so leave that
- stress on the interstate and relax!
-
-

-
-
- Request Fuel Icon
-
- After you have answered a city's
- question, you will be presented with
- the particular route Icons for that
- city. At this time, you may request
- fuel by clicking on this Icon. But
- remember, not every city will have
- fuel available! Be careful on those
- county routes, it's a long way between
- gas stations!

- Road Rally Rescue Icon
-
- Well you've done all you know how
- to do. You've harrassed the local
- librarian, contacted the smithsonian,
- and written the national archives!
- Still Calumet City has you stumped...
- As a last resort, call the help-
- ful people at Road Rally Rescue. They
- are always looking out for stranded
- motorists such as yourself. It's a
- shame that they aren't based out of
- more cities, but they're a new company
- so you may be dragged quite a few
- cities back, but maybe this time the
- going won't be so rough!
-
-
- Road Rally Rescue will try and fix
- you in place if possible. But if a
- second try isn't enough, then you'll
- be towed back to previous city. Road
- Rally Rescue is based out of major
- cities, or approximately every six
- cities via an Interstate route. Once
- your able to get past one of these
- bases, then you'll only be towed back
- that far. So all is not lost!
-
- It is good to remember that at
- each city, the question is randomly
- selected out of the appropriate diff-
- iculty database. This means that each
- time you visit a city, the question
- may be different, and each game won't
- be the same! Because of the random
- selection process, you may see the
- same question twice, so consider that
- a freebee and keep on truck'n.
-
-
- Certain cities will always have
- the same question. This question
- usually deals with something specific
- about the city or the area, so if you
- are familier with a certain area, it
- may be advantageous to travel that
- direction!
