Get your pair
Every round gives you a start article and a goal article. Your route begins on the start page and ends when you reach the goal.
How to play
Wikipedia racing rules.
WikiRacr gives you a start article and a goal article. Read the page, choose links, and find your way to the goal article.
2
Move by article links
Click links inside the Wikipedia article to move from page to page. Use the HUD find box when you want to scan the current page faster.
3
Watch your clicks
Every article jump counts as a click. Going back also costs a click, so detours matter.
4
Finish the round
Reach the goal article to lock in your path. In solo, you can compare your route against the shortest known path after the round.
Modes and scoring
Know what the round rewards.
Solo scoring
Solo rewards both efficient routes and fast finishes. Fewer extra clicks and lower time both help your score.
Classic multiplayer
Each round has a score winner. In Classic, winning enough rounds wins the match.
Clicks modePro
Clicks mode ignores score and rewards the lowest total click count across the match.
Speedrun modePro
Speedrun cares about total time. The route can be ugly if it gets you there fast.
Score modePro
Score mode adds your round scores together. Consistent clean rounds matter more than stealing one round.
KnockoutPro
Players start with HP. The top slice of the field is safe each round, and everyone else takes damage based on the gap from the safety score. Last player standing wins.
Check the leaderboard to see how your results compare.
Tips
How to find a good route.
- Use broad pages as hubs. Countries, cities, years, genres, sports, universities, people, and events can connect unrelated topics quickly.
- Look for categories, locations, parent topics, and related people when a page feels like a dead end.
- Do not panic-click every blue link. A slightly slower good link beats a fast dead end.
- In multiplayer, decide whether the mode rewards speed, clicks, score, or survival before you choose risky links.
