Currently the best Wikipedia racing/speedrunning game so far!
I've tried it on multiple browsers (Zen, Brave, Chrome, Safari) and on iOS and it works perfectly fine. Loading times are lightning fast. Excellent UI design and is very well thought of. The design has a competitive vibe without it giving off an intimidating feel, so it's suitable for both casual and competitive players. It has great features that allow me to play with my friends easily and without any friction. I haven't encountered any issues so far and have had a lot of fun playing the game solo and with friends. 10/10
Hey Product Hunt!! I’m Marko, the developer behind wikiracing.org :)
I’ve always really liked wikiracing, but I wanted a version that felt genuinely fast and polished. I also really wanted races to feel alive, which is where the live cursors came from, and I spent a lot of time making the articles look and behave as close to actual Wikipedia as possible.
So I started building wikiracing.org. You can race from one Wikipedia article to another using only links, either solo or against friends in real time. You can see everyone’s cursors moving around the page while you race, compete on leaderboards, play daily challenges, and create races with friends.
I’ve been working on it for a while now, and honestly the coolest part has been seeing a little community start to form around it. People have been playing, sharing the site with friends, reporting bugs, and giving me a ton of really useful feedback. We actually just passed 700 registered users and 50,000 games played, which is still kinda crazy to me.
I’m still building and improving things all the time, so I’d genuinely love for you to try it and let me know what you think :)
Hope you have fun with it!!
