If you have ever found yourself or your students jumping from one link the next in Wikipedia and gotten so lost that you forgot where you started,
Wikipedia Maze is for you. Wikipedia Maze is a community-powered site featuring puzzles based on Wikipedia articles. The challenge is to figure out how someone got from one topic to another in as few links as possible. For example, can you figure out how I got from
Andrew Carnegie to
Richardson's Ground Squirrel in six clicks?
The
Tekzilla video below has a short overview of
Wikipedia Maze.
Applications for EducationIf you're looking to give some structure to your students' exploration of Wikipedia, Wikipedia Maze could be a nice way to do that. You can create your own mazes or have students create them and share them with each other. Who knows what they might discover along the way?
