The Wiki Game

What is The Wiki Game?

You start somewhere completely random—say, "Bananas." Your destination? Something wildly unrelated, like "Quantum Mechanics." No hints. No shortcuts. Just you, a page full of links, and a ticking sense of urgency.

The Wiki Game transforms Wikipedia into a giant maze of knowledge. Every link is a possible path, every click a gamble. The challenge isn’t just what you know—it’s how creatively you can connect ideas. The shortest route isn’t always obvious, and one wrong click can send you spiraling into a dead-end rabbit hole.

The Wiki Game Game Rules

• 🌐 Start & Target Pages: You are given a starting article and a goal article.
• 🔗 Links Only: You MUST navigate using only clickable links within each Wikipedia page.
• 🚫 No Search Allowed: Typing or searching directly for the target is FORBIDDEN.
• 📉 Track Your Path: Every click counts—fewer steps = better performance.
• 🧠 Everything is Connected: History, science, pop culture—unexpected links are your best weapon.
• There’s no single correct path—but there are smarter ones.
