A fun game you can challenge others or yourself to: start at any page you want, and try to get to another page only using direct clicking! And you can't press the back button.
When I played the Wikipedia Game I was able to get from World War II to Doughnut by clicking USA => Cuisine of the United States => Dessert => Breakfast => Doughnut. Only 5 clicks!

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!

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.

The website that answers every single question you will ever ask in your entire life, and some questions you wont.
Person 1: But can you prove that whales are the biggest mammals alive?
Person 2: Yeah, wikipedia told we so.
