Sapien Loop 2026: Quiz 1
Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the first Sapien Loop quiz for 2026. Like the final few quizzes from 2025, this quiz is focused on my new book, Sapien Loop Short Stories: Missing Links, which is now available on Amazon as an ebook, paperback, and hardcover. All questions are from this book.
Like last year, this quiz contains nine questions. Six of these questions are from the short stories, which were also published on the @captainhive account in the first half of this year. The remaining three questions are from the character journeys, which were published on my @captainhive account around two months ago.
I hope you have fun and enjoy the quiz.
Where to Read the Books
My books are titled Sapien Loop: End of an Era and Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time. Both books are now available on Amazon. Links are provided in the signature of this post. Individual chapters are also available on my @captainhive account, as well as collections on this account. See below:

I hope everyone enjoys reading the books and short stories.
How to Play
These quizzes are simple and easy to play. Participants are required to answer multiple-choice questions. Participants choose from five possible answers. The answers can be found in the short stories and character journey posts as well as the recently released short stories ebook. Most questions are simple and direct. Some questions might be a little more challenging. They may require participants to interpret characters’ intentions and emotions.
How to Win
The winner is the participant who answers the most questions correctly. If there is a tie, the participant who entered first wins. To win, a participant must also answer more than half of the questions correctly. For example, if there are nine questions, the participant needs to answer at least five of them correctly to have a chance of winning.

The winner of this contest will receive 30 Hive Power. If this contest has no winner, the 30 Hive Power from this contest will be rolled over to next month’s contest. The first twelve entries will receive an upvote.

The Sapien Loop Series
I am writing a trilogy of books titled Sapien Loop. The first in the series is Sapien Loop: End of an Era and the second is Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time. I published both of these books as ebooks on Amazon, and I have posted completed chapters to my @captainhive account. I anticipate publishing the third book in early 2027. I expect to title this book Sapien Loop: Worlds Collide. In 2025, I plan to write short stories about some of the characters and their adventures. I will post these to my @captainhive over the course of the year.
Brief Summary of Sapien Loop: End of an Era
This story is based on the fictional planet Sapia and its sole country, Sapey. Sapey is portrayed as a form of utopia for all its citizens. No poverty. No war. Almost no crime. Opportunities for all.
This was enough for most citizens, but not all. In one of the small regions, some of the citizens had become discontent. They felt something important was missing in their lives. Their discontent did not go unnoticed. Some of the Sapey elite wanted to weaponise this discontent to gain more power. This created more chaos than they anticipated. This led to further widespread social unrest.
On top of the chaos, ambition and greed provoked another enemy. This enemy was on a mission to settle both new and old scores.
Brief Summary of Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time
This story is based six years after the original story. The Downs Region is still suffering from a serious health crisis caused by the contaminated water. The main characters are desperately trying to find a cure for the illness that has been caused by the water.
One of the main characters has discovered frozen humanoids in hidden chambers. It appears they have been frozen for a long time. These chambers connect to a vast network of tunnels. While exploring the tunnels, one of the frozen humanoids disappears. It appears he has been stolen.
The story takes a step back in time to tell the story of the frozen humanoids. How and why were they frozen? This part of the story also explains the fall of ancient Sapey and the birth of the Sapiens. Can those from the past be able to coexist with those from the present?
