How to play The Wikipedia Game
Start by choosing a random Wikipedia page or decide on a specific starting page. It can be anything that piques your interest or challenges your knowledge.
Next, define the target page you want to reach. This could be a related topic, an unrelated topic, or even a completely random page. The challenge lies in finding the shortest path between the start page and the landing page.
Once you have your start and landing pages in mind, open the Wikipedia page for the starting topic in your web browser.
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the content and structure of the page. Look for hyperlinks in articles. These hyperlinks will be the key for you to navigate from one page to another.
Click on a hyperlink that you think will bring you closer to the target page. It could be a relevant keyword, a related concept, or anything that piqued your curiosity.
You will be redirected to the new page corresponding to the clicked hyperlink. Now, repeat the new page discovery process to find relevant hyperlinks and click on them.
Track the number of clicks you make. Remember, the goal is to reach the target page with as few clicks as possible.
Keep navigating through the Wikipedia pages, clicking on hyperlinks and discovering new articles until you finally reach the landing page.
When you reach the goal page, congratulations on completing the game! Record the number of clicks you took to get there. You can try beating your own score by playing again or challenge your friends to see who can find the shortest path.
