Show HN: WikiWho? – A Wordle-Like Wikipedia Based Guessing Game
playwikiwho.comHeyy,
I've been building this game for the past few weeks and I'm excited to share it with you all.
What is it?
WikiWho? is a Wordle-like guessing game where you are shown a Wikipedia Pane and you have to guess who the person is.
You can reveal more of the pane by clicking on the "Reveal" button, but you lose points for doing so. You get 3 attempts to guess the correct person.
If you can't guess the person, you can click on the "Give Up" button to reveal the answer.
Origin story: I recently sent a screenshot of a wiki pane to a friend and asked them to guess who it was, they were able to guess correctly in a minute or so. I thought it would be fun to turn this into a game, and so WikiWho? was born.
I'd love to hear everyone's feedback on the game, and if it gains enough traction, I'll continue to curate more panes and add more features.
https://playwikiwho.com This doesn't work in Pale Moon 32.5.0 on Win10x64. Please review your development platforms. Thanks for the feedback! I haven’t optimised nor tested on those platforms as I don’t have access to them. It should be working on all mainstream OSes/browsers.
