Community Insight:
This game is super fun! But, Im stuck at NYC -> prohibition, it will not recognize the prohibition page when we click on it.
Both a tool for boredom and a way to read random information that might be interesting.
Asked to go from wine to Jesus….. Scroll down, find Jesus in one click…. Gives us 2 coins instead of 3 and says Im 3 clicks over the perfect path.. No.
Theres no scrolling to the right/left so some pages are cut off if theres a table or embedded bullet points.
Unfortunately this game has some bugs. For example, if the goal word is Tango and we click on just that word in the Wikipedia article, it has been since been renamed to Tango (Argentina) so it doesnt work. So we click another Tango in the article and it redirects us to Tango (dance)…still not the correct Tango apparently. So we click another Tango and finally it recognized it. By then we are getting the lowest score because of all the extra clicks. This game needs to updated with Wikipedia semi regularly. Also could you let us know how many clicks are in the perfect path while were trying to figure it out! Fingers crossed that there will be some support for this game and it wont just die off.
Its seems fun, but since its a paid app, it would be nice to have some app updates. It looks like the last update was at least two years ago, which leads to some problems. For example, it isnt sized properly for an iPhone 12. And security details are no longer available. With in-app purchases, it makes us wonder about the value behind the price (since Wikipedia is ostensibly supposed to be free).
The concept of this game is fun! We bought this because we missed the wiki game we used to play on our android. There are two main things that take away from the fun for us 1. The way the Wikipedia articles are displayed. They are displayed with every section expanded, so you have to scroll through every section and its easy to get lost between sections and subsections. There is no overview outline with major sections to expand and minimize like an actual Wikipedia article. This just makes it frustrating and tedious to skim through. Yes, there are arrow buttons to skip through sections, but we still wish everything wasnt automatically expanded. 2. The levels seem to be pre-determined, not randomized (we could be wrong and would be happy to be corrected!) Other wiki games we've played randomize your start and end points every time, and thats what keeps it interesting. We were disappointed to see levels like bird to spider and NYC to prohibition (those, along with some others, seem way too straightforward). We get that maybe theyre keeping the beginning levels easy, but a beginner could just as easily use randomization until they get a beginner level combo. It just gets boring and kind of does Wikipedia a disservice considering how expansive it is.
This game gives you the Wiki Game, as promised. It's polished, it works great. Plenty of single-player fun. That's just it though, we know there's a multiplayer variant online. We think if multiplayer features were available this would get our five stars.
It looks interesting in the website, but quickly gets boring.
The charts on the pages do not scroll. This is a huge problem because it cuts off content that can be used to solve the level. In addition, the skip to next area button doesnt work. It would be wonderful to have multiplayer in this game. It would also be really nice to have a table of contents LIKE YOU HAVE IN NORMAL WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES. We shouldnt have to scroll through the whole thing to get to one part.
We havent written a review in years but this was so infuriating that we just have to. Theres no multiplayer function, therefore its SO much less fun than the original but they have the gall to still charge $2 for it? Do not buy this under any circumstances. If we save even one person from forking over $2 they could have spent on a snickers bar, Ill be happy. Just play on a desktop.
Just one quick note, on iPad the results screen is cut off and you can read the lower section that mentions something about the perfect path. Fun little game though.
Wish there were more levels and more games like it.
Fun and education all in one package!!! Great for all ages.
Lots of different modes to play means lots of different ways to enjoy the game.
Best game we've played in a while. Always entertaining! Wish there was an offline mode though for plane rides and such but overall fantastic and a must download.
One of our favorite apps ever! Downside: highly addictive ;).
We love this game–so fun to learn bits of trivia while we search the articles.
This game is fun, addicting, and educational it gets a 5 star rating in our book!! We've gotten all our friends hooked too! Love it.
We love this game!! It is our new favorite! Please make more least click levels! Highly recommended.
Love this game! The only thing is that once in awhile you find the word or phrase to win the puzzle but you click on it and it brings you to something similar (but does not win).
Fabulous fun…instructional…and fascinating to travel around Wikipedia and learn so much by doing so.
Achievements messed up, please fix. It's very frustrating to complete an achievement only for it to think you have not completed it. The game is fun and well thought out though.
Love the game. Hits a LOT of snags, though, on certain Wiki pages. Tables show up blank; lists are displayed with the second half of each line chopped off. Fix those and it'll be just about perfect.
Was expecting a mobile version of the actual website where you raced others real time.
The game has been pestering us to write a review, so here it is: Is there a way to turn the annoying music off without silencing our entire phone?! Ugh.
All the links for each game type say, "not a game link — no external links allowed". Please let us know the problem, then ill change the review. Thanks.
We used to play the homespun version of this game, so we were ecstatic when we ran across this gem. It's even better than playing the old way. Super fun, we're serial.
Absolutely great game, and fills you with random knowledge.
This game is intuitive, original and fun. It's amazing how many facts we've absorbed just from playing this a couple of weeks. It's probably worth 99$, not .99$ it is truly great. The wiki game will is one of those games that you will always remember, like Mario Bros, minecraft or Call Of Duty.
We love this! Way more fun than getting lost in Wikipedia. Our new favorite app.
Surprisingly addictive! We love it.
Not all that its cracked up to be.
Keeps crashing in any mode right from the outset. Please fix.
This game is great we logged in just so we could compliment it 5/5.
We love this concept. This is one of the most challenging games we've ever gotten. It forces you to think outside the box and to really use your problem-solving skills. Anyone who has given up on this game because of one level is missing out on the endless possibilities still left. Don't let one level discourage you from exercising your mind through this extraordinarily thought-provoking game.
This game is a tour through the world's knowledge–interesting and intellectually challenging as you try to connect disparate ideas.
We click start game, and it takes forever to load! It won't bring up the first article!!! Argh.
No flaws with the app here, we just can't get from lobster to lady gaga in 4 clicks! Fewest we've done is 5 and we've been trying for days! Help.
Never heard of this game til we downloaded the app – we can't put it down! If you like Wikipedia you'll love it! Regarding the Jesus game, it doesn't say Jesus Saves, it just has you look for the connection. We don't like or condone sport rowing but that doesn't mean the concept doesn't exist and the term should be anathema. Wish people would get some common sense & lighten up on the persecution.
We love this game because we feel like we're learning when we play it! However, one suggestion for improvement would be to find a way to store how far down a given page you were when the back button is clicked. It would make checking out different articles that you knew were dead ends just to learn so much easier.
Great game – once we start playing we can't stop.
Really really enjoyed this game! Its easy to use and fun to play! We highly reccomend it.
We spent the better part of our vacation playing this app and it never gets boring – there's always a new challenge to tackle.
We were skeptical about buying this app but we absolutely love it! A few things are on our mind about it though… Like what are the coins used for? Could they possibly be used to get hints in future updates? Please???? Because sometimes we get stuck on a puzzle. BUT we REALLY DO LOVE THIS.
Our favorite web based games on the go. No hang ups no crashing. And it is the best price.
Very entertaining and challenging. The app facilitates the game perfectly.
We've always enjoyed leaping from article to article on Wikipedia, and this game totally feeds that! We have really enjoyed the challenge of using a limited amount of clicks or racing against the clock to get from point A to point B. We totally recommend this game if you are a habitual wiki-walker.
Super cool. We're addicted. It's fun and helps us pass the time in class. We might learn something new too.
Awesome interface with beautiful graphics. Easy to navigate and simple to understand but still challenging. Plenty of levels and game options to keep you occupied. Overall a wonderful game.
