Wikipedia & Gaming aka “5 Clicks to Jesus”
3A few years ago, I was turned on to a fun little game that I wanted to share with you.
It is called “5 Clicks to Jesus” and the rules are simple:
ONLY use your mouse.
Go to the main Wikipedia page and click on “Random Article”. From there, using only the links within the Wikipedia articles, you have 5 mouse clicks to get to the Wikipedia article on Jesus.
I found it a bit too easy after playing for awhile. Additional rules, such as not being allowed to click on the articles for Years or Countries, will increase the difficulty.
The variation we liked to use is “5 clicks to Batman”. And getting to this guy doesn’t count:

The Jesus, from The Big Lebowski
Teachers & Librarians who prefer print encyclopedias over Wikipedia are ruining the fun for us gamers.
Feel free to share any 5 click paths that were especially fun or difficult with us in the comment box below!
