The Wikipedia game, live

Race across Wikipedia, one link at a time.

A wikirace: get from one article to another using only the links in the text, as fast as you can or in as few clicks. Play solo or race friends in a room.

Octopus → Ancient Greek → Byzantine Empire
A route: the start, a checkpoint to pass through, and the target.

Start playing

Got a code from a friend? Enter it to join their room. Leave it empty to start your own: play alone, or share the code and race.

01

Pick two articles

The host chooses a start and a target, or rolls a random pair. Checkpoints force a detour.

02

Follow only links

Every move is a link in the article text. Going back, if the room allows it, costs a click.

03

Fastest or fewest clicks wins

The host picks which: a speedrun or the shortest route. Races between signed-in players move your rating for it on the leaderboard.
