This game is more popular in chatrooms because people are actually racing, but it can work in a forum too.
This game is simple. You begin with a challenge. You start at the Wikipedia page you're told to start on, and you need to end up the end page, but only by clicking the links in the Wikipedia articles. When you succeed, you need to post on this page which links you clicked on and put up a new challenge.
Example:
The challenge is to begin at France and end at Intel Core i5.
A player would post:
France>European Union>European Community competition law>Microsoft>Intel 80386>Intel Core i5.
All these pages link to each other, so a useful strategy is to click on the links relevant to what you're looking for. (The strategy used here: France is part of the EU, the EU sued Microsoft, Microsoft makes software for Intel processors, Intel makes the Core i5.)
After proving that the challenge was won, the player would put up a new challenge.
I'll put up this first challenge: Go from Twitter to Lynx.
