Gameplay (How do I play this?)
- A user hosts a game by typing or choosing a preset article name.
- When another user joins the game and is ready, the game begins.
- Everyone starts at a random page, where the search box and other helpful links are removed, so you can only click on the links inside the article texts.
- The goal is now to reach the page that was chosen by navigating through Wikipedia articles, finding articles within the same category as the chosen article.
- The first one who manages to find the article wins!
The game requires you to be able to find articles relating to the chosen article, eventually finding the article.
