What is The Wiki Game?
The Wiki Game turns the classic Wikipedia rabbit hole into a live multiplayer race. Each round gives every player the same start page and the same target page, and you have to reach the target by clicking links inside the articles, with no search box allowed.
Rounds run on a timer with players from around the world, and your time and number of clicks are ranked on a leaderboard at the end. Teachers and friend groups can also set up private groups with their own challenges and round settings. The site now sits within the hey.gg games network, alongside a daily version called Wiki Game Daily.
