Wikipedia Racing

A game played by two or more people, each with his or her own computer at hand. Players agree upon a Wikipedia article as the "target" before the race. On the count of three, all players click the "random article" link on the left side of the page to start each player off at a random starting point. By only clicking links on the articles, each player vies to be the first to get to the "target" page.

Notes:
-Players ARE allowed to use the "back" button on the browser
-Players ARE NOT allowed to use links on the left side bar of Wikipedia (main page, etc.)
-Players ARE NOT allowed to use the "Categories" link at the bottom of the page, but other lists (e.g. Forbes 500 companies, etc) ARE allowed.

A fun little game to play, where two or more people set a starting page and an ending page, both of which are titles of articles on Wikipedia. Then, using only the links within the text of the article, the goal is to find a way to the ending page before your competitor(s).

A game involving two or more players with an equal amount of internet compatible computers. Two random words are selected (i.e. salmon/electromagnet. or deviled eggs/vietnam) by any means the players see fit. Then the race is on. You go to the wikipedia page of the first word. From that point you can only use links within that page, and successive pages to reach the second word. You may not use the search function. Obviously, first person to the second word wins. This is a great drinking game, if you have more than one computer.

A game played at wikipediarace.com, where you start at one random wikipedia article, and try to get to another by clicking on links in the article. What makes it a race? The links disappear from the page while you are reading, forcing you to click at a frantic pace. Beware of playing this game if you are in college, because it could do serious damage to your GPA!
