Wikipedia Safari

~~someonecompletelyrandom~~ · 06-01-2009, 09:45 PM

This game is for the bored or easily entertained (like me). Just think up a random article on Wikipedia (type it in to make sure it exists) and then press the random article button on the left hand side. Using only the links within the articles, try to find your way to the article you thought of.

Heres my most recent game:

Goal: Hillary Clinton

Fairy Tales
Animation
History of Animation
Film
Hanna-Barbera
Scooby Doo
Television in the United States
NBC (geez its taking me forever to get out of these television articles)
