WikiMaze

In plain words

WikiMaze is a web-based game that challenges players to navigate between Wikipedia articles. Users start at one article and attempt to reach a target article by clicking through Wikipedia links, creating a maze-like path of knowledge. The game is designed for anyone interested in exploring Wikipedia in an interactive and competitive way. WikiMaze turns the encyclopedia into a puzzle experience.

Instead of showing the shortest path, which in my opinion is "boring" and ends up connecting super-important central articles, I came up with my own method: WikiBinge selects the smaller, less represented articles on Wikipedia. In a WikiBinge path, the underdogs are the kings! How does it work? It's pretty straightforward! Compute PageRank on the Wiki-graph and assign as weight of each edge the PageRank value…
