This blog post is about the results of a contest that is now over. To everyone reading, participant or not, please enjoy taking the quizzes that others have submitted.

Random Animals by Picture by GeoPhilia

My favourite thing about this quiz is it’s simplicity. It stands out to me just because it fills a gap in quizzes that JetPunk was surprisingly lacking. I mean, you have to guess what animal is in the picture… but the pictures are randomized. It’s nothing revolutionary, but it’s clean presentation and execution makes this one of my favourites. While it may not look like much work went into this quiz from the quiztaking side of things, I don’t even want to begin thinking about how long it took to get all the pictures… ugh.

Overall, I really enjoyed this quiz! Super straightforward, but super replayable. Nice job :>

Animal Superlatives by NINJAQKk

I like this quiz. I like it a lot. I don’t know what to say about it that isn’t just retreading old ground though. It’s a simple concept that was executed very well, I like the picture, and none of the categories feel too odd or obscure. Everything in this quiz feels like it matters. But according to the comments, you put the incorrect answer for one of the categories so… fact-check your answers I guess? I don’t think that there is really much to say here other than it was a really solid quiz. Good work overall :)

Animal Island by Raz07

Animal Island is an SVG quiz, and this gives it a leg up on a lot of the other quizzes straight from the get go. Quizmaster actually said SVG quizzes tend to be some of the ones he prefers to feature, and I can’t say I disagree with him. This quiz has you trying to guess animals based on their silhouettes. Maybe it’s not the most imaginative use of SVG, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it. The animals chosen all have easily recognizable shapes, but this is prioritized over theming so the selection can seem odd at a glance. What business do an elephant, horse, and butterfly have on an island together? Perhaps there are some secrets the world wasn’t meant to know...

Speaking of elephants I should probably address the one in the room: why did the results take so long? I just didn't have the motivation to get up and make them. I really wanted to, and so many times I was like "yeah, let's finish the results!" and that would amount to basically nothing. This isn't the first time this has happened in my Jetpunk career, and it likely won't be the last. The silver lining here is that after these points of having no motivation whatsoever I do eventually regain it. It comes and goes in waves. I will be motivated to be punctual with the results. Eventually. Maybe this is the start of it? Hopefully it is, I do have another one of these that just finished up. Would be nice to get those results finished.

I'd also like to give a big thank-you to all those that asked when the results would be uploaded! And you should, too. Without them, I may have taken even longer to write the results. So even if you may or may not have won, thanks for putting me in the hot seat for so long.

Oh, and I can't forget about this. Here are the other quizzes submitted that weren't one of the winners. Anyway, I shouldn't take too long releasing the results of the next QCC. I'd actually be more impressed than anything else if it managed to take longer than releasing these results. See you next time!

The results of QCCGame won't be up until at least next week, as I won't have internet this weekend. I hate to play this game again, but please be patient! I'll have it done as soon as I can.

Yes, but someone suggested that I make a separate blog post for the results. It’s literally a copy-paste job so why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My favorite was the animals in Romance languages quiz. I thought that was great idea made into a fun & informative quiz!

I do think that my quiz won in the court of public opinion because it has the most takes, but I agree that it didn't deserve to win this contest because it probably wasn't exactly what you had in mind. Thanks for the inspiration and for getting to the results.

You say this like I didn’t enjoy your quiz :(

Your quiz was one of the close contenders for the top 3, but ultimately I had to give it to these ones. There’s a reason your quiz won in the “court of public opinion”

Thanks for putting my quiz as one of the top 3! The incorrect answer was my head just automatically reading a question a certain way that wasn't implied in the quiz lol.
