I have a site: http://TheWikiGame.com http://TheWikiGame.com that makes a game out of a related idea (finding the connection between Wikipedia articles).
Recently, I've been giving access to the game data to people (like university researchers, etc) to test different theories on path connections made by real people, etc.
The game has now been running for over 3 years, has about 1.19 million players, playing over 1.37 million games, with about 1.22 million won games (successful start/end article connection).
Got a really cool application for all the game data? I'd love to hear: alex@thewikigame.com
- loumf 14y agoMaybe the interesting part is the 150,000 lost games.
- lachenmayer 14y agoSurely most of those are just abandoned games?
- ajryan 14y agoI have a kind of Wiki game that I play aloud with friends. Person A names a topic. Person B must guess whether Wikipedia owns the top Google (incognito/not signed-in) result for that term. Person B gets a point for guessing right, or Person A gets a point if Person B guesses wrong. The fun is in coming up with "stumpers.'
