Show HN: I'm making a detective game built on Wikipedia

Hi HN! Worked on this side project for a while and wanted to share it. It's free to play.

This is really cool, recommend people click 'restart' so you can see all the different gamemodes.

Really fun, took me over 20 articles before I realized I can just type the letters on my keyboard instead of clicking them one by one with my mouse :^).

Cool game, but when I was doing the map game it gave me the same article about 5 times.

It's also not clear if there's a goal in each game. So far as I can tell it goes on forever.

Edit: both the lock and dial game modes put me into the same dial game mode; I'm going to guess it's a bug. They also seem to be for the same article.

Where in the wiki is Commons Atribution?

This is a very clever idea. I've toyed with the idea of making a multiple site mystery challenge in the past, a bit like a geo game with real world tagging and drop boxes.

Never got around to it, but this is clever.

This is very cool! I am mildly disappointed that it isn't called Wikipedia Brown. Despite this, great work

What a great design!

How did you design that awesome background!?

Hey sometimes the "first letter" in the letter game when it's typed on the tape is in upper case .. kind of a hint :)

Very cool - I would like to contact you about this. Do you mind emailing me? My email address is in my profile.
