What is Wikipedia Speedruns?
Wikipedia Speedruns turns Wikipedia into a race. You start on one article and have to reach a goal article as fast as you can by clicking only the links inside the pages. Wondering what could possibly link Philosophy to Chuck Norris? This is how you find out.
There is a quick play mode, a prompt of the day that everyone plays, a training mode, a marathon mode and a party mode. Registered players can create private lobbies to race friends, and the community can submit sprint and marathon prompts. It works with many language editions of Wikipedia, and a tutorial explains the rules.
