Following the acquisition of Wordle by the New York Times, numerous platforms and publications are embracing the gaming trend. The newest addition is Wikipedia, the beloved online encyclopedia, featuring a fresh game designed for history lovers.
Initially reported by Kotaku, Wikipedia has launched a quiz game on its official Android application, titled Which Came First? The game is simple, as its name implies. Players are given two descriptions of historical events, accompanied by images for clues. The objective is to determine which event took place first, with five questions available to answer.
This game supports Wikipedia’s objective: to serve as a thorough internet repository of individuals, locations, and objects, readily accessible near the top of any search inquiry. After completing the mini quiz, players receive the average score of other participants along with various articles pertaining to the answers, providing an opportunity to learn further.
Wikipedia’s archive for this game traces back to May 20th of this year, indicating it might have been accessible for a few weeks. Still, many users are just now discovering it.
As per Wikipedia, the game is exclusively available for Android devices and can be played in English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
To participate, download the Wikipedia mobile application and choose Which Came First? from the Explore feed. It’s time to challenge your historical knowledge.
