About this game

The Wiki Game is a game in which you learn whilst having fun.

How come?

You get two Wikipedia articles. Your goal is simple; Reach from one to another, by clicking the hyperlinks in the article.

On your way, you will read about things you've never heard of, and have an opportunity to explore the very deep Wikipedia!

And if having fun isn't good enough to motivate you into playing this game, have in mind that revenues from ads in this app will be donated to Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. So why not giving it a try?

Ratings and reviews

Overall okay, but missing some important features and often buggy. The search page feature crashes the app, there's no way to see the target page so if you have no idea what it's referring to it's impossible to even try. There are a lot of repeats as well. This isn't an issue with the app, but I wish there was a versus mode you can play with other people.

Fun game, easy to pick up and can hold your attention for quite a while. Two problems, though. The search function crashes the game and sometimes, you'll be on the right Wiki article but the game doesn't recognize it. For example, I had to get from autism to the book 1984. I made it but because the title was spelled Nineteen Eighty Four instead of 1984, the game didn't realize I found it. Messed up but oh well. 3/4 stars.

It's a great game, no complaints. Ads are far from bombarding and easy to skip usually, gameplay is very simple yet enjoyable, and it's a great passtime if you're looking for a solo game. If you haven't gotten it yet, please do! For the developers: While playing your game, I've noticed a cheaty move that I'm sure is being exploited. At the bottom of every article, there's a desktop feature. By clicking it, a search bar is available for use. Thought I should warn you of this...
