The Wikipedia Game
Go from one page to another in the least number of steps
Haha love this!
Used to play this in high school when all other games were blocked on the school computers. We used to call the game "WikiRace".
Having been recently inspired by Wordle (non-additive and social) I decided to think back to games I played at school that could be adapted into a simple web application. The game that came to mind was the Wikipedia game. This game simply involves navigating from one Wikipedia page to another using as few steps/links as possible.
I was disappointed with the ad-heavy, slow implementations on the web and decided to recreate this very simple game using only Next JS and the Wikipedia API (deployed using Vercel). One new challenge is set every day and you can share your results to see if you can beat your friends/family.
Here is my score for today:
