The Wiki Game
http://thewikigame.com/
Has anyone played that? Am I the only one who finds it incredibly addicting? I think I played for two hours yesterday. ![]() It feels a bit like being a detective. You go from the specifics, get a general view of things, and then move back to the specifics. This has happened - these are the possible suspects - this is our prime suspect - this guy did it.
I'd be a dog, a monkey or a bear, or anything but that vain animal, who is so proud of being rational.

RE: The Wiki Game
Well, each Wikipedia article contains a bunch of cross-references. In the game you're supposed to move from one article to the next solely by clicking on these links.
Let's say that you start with an article about Kevin Bacon, and you're supposed to move to the article about Texas. You then figure out what Kevin Bacon and Texas have in common, for instance, they're both in (or from) America. You then look for Kevin's birth place in the article, it'll probably say "U.S" somewhere, and click on it. This'll take you to the article about the U.S. You then look for Texas on that article, and bam, you win! ![]() Get it? I'm so not good at explaining stuff.

RE: The Wiki Game
Yeah, you made sense. I'll see if I can answer correctly.

RE: The Wiki Game
It gets easier the more you play it.
![]() I found it really difficult at first too. But you kind of learn what to look for on the pages. Nationality words tend to be very versatile. No matter what you want to find, finding the wiki page for the country of origin tends to be quite helpful.
