App doesn’t register your wins sometimes
Or when you use a key, sometimes, nothing happens, except you losing a key.
Fun but broken
This game is super fun! But, I’m stuck at NYC -> prohibition, it will not recognize the prohibition page when I click on it
Very useful
Both a tool for boredom and a way to read random information that might be interesting .
not worth $2
No online multiplayer like the web version, buggy and slow, ugly interface, i’m sorry this should be a free app
Trash
Garbage, horribly dated terrible UI. Should be removed from the App Store, the fact it costs too is hilarious
Why did they stop making levels?
Love this game, & I’m very disappointed that the creators didn’t continue on with it.
Takes your money
I usually love this game on the PC but the app version isn’t great. When buying keys to help get through difficult levels, there was a deal for 200 keys for 89p - sounded too good to be true! And it was! Charged me £4.99 without me realising and I never even received the keys. I’ve had to file a complaint through Apple to get a refund. Such a shame as it’s so good on the computer.

Worth it??
It’s seems fun, but since it’s a paid app, it would be nice to have some app updates. It looks like the last update was at least two years ago, which leads to some problems. For example, it isn’t sized properly for an iPhone 12. And security details are no longer available.
With in-app purchases, it makes me wonder about the value behind the price (since Wikipedia is ostensibly supposed to be free).

For 2 dollars, it’s disappointing.
The charts on the pages do not scroll. This is a huge problem because it cuts off content that can be used to solve the level. In addition, the skip to next area button doesn’t work.
It would be wonderful to have multiplayer in this game. It would also be really nice to have a table of contents LIKE YOU HAVE IN NORMAL WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES. I shouldn’t have to scroll through the whole thing to get to one part.

Ok
Really enjoy this game, but I wish there was more levels. I'd be happy to pay extra for more.
I did pay 99p for 5 extras but I didn't receive them. Hence the low score.
Please add more levels.

A little underwhelming
The concept of this game is fun! I bought this because I missed the wiki game I used to play on my android. There are two main things that take away from the fun for me
1. The way the Wikipedia articles are displayed. They are displayed with every section expanded, so you have to scroll through every section and it’s easy to get lost between sections and subsections. There is no overview outline with major sections to expand and minimize like an actual Wikipedia article. This just makes it frustrating and tedious to skim through. Yes, there are arrow buttons to skip through sections, but I still wish everything wasn’t automatically expanded.
2. The levels seem to be pre-determined, not randomized (I could be wrong and would be happy to be corrected!) Other wiki games I've played randomize your start and end points every time, and that’s what keeps it interesting. I was disappointed to see levels like “bird to spider” and “NYC to prohibition” (those, along with some others, seem way too straightforward). I get that maybe they’re keeping the beginning levels easy, but a beginner could just as easily use randomization until they get a beginner level combo. It just gets boring and kind of does Wikipedia a disservice considering how expansive it is!

Repulsed
I haven’t written a review in years but this was so infuriating that I just have to. There’s no multiplayer function, therefore it’s SO much less fun than the original but they have the gall to still charge $2 for it?
Do not buy this under any circumstances. If I save even one person from forking over $2 they could have spent on a snickers bar, I’ll be happy. Just play on a desktop

Doesn’t make sense sometimes
Asked to go from wine to Jesus..... scroll down, find Jesus in one click.... gives me 2 coins instead of 3 and says I’m 3 clicks over the perfect path.. no
Web version has bugs too but much better than app
There’s no scrolling to the right/left so some pages are cut off if there’s a table or embedded bullet points.
I really want to love this game
Unfortunately this game has some bugs. For example, if the goal word is “Tango” and I click on just that word in the Wikipedia article, it has been since been renamed to Tango (Argentina) so it doesn’t work. So I click another “Tango” in the article and it redirects me to Tango (dance)...still not the correct Tango apparently. So I click another Tango and finally it recognized it. By then I am getting the lowest score because of all the extra clicks. This game needs to updated with Wikipedia semi regularly. Also could you let us know how many clicks are in the perfect path while we’re trying to figure it out! Fingers crossed that there will be some support for this game and it won’t just die off.

Response from developer
Thanks, but that is how Wikipedia is really structured, eg there is an article which is precisely "Tango" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tango), but there are also more "specific" articles like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_tango that you are hitting before you get to the actual goal. I hope you reconsider your review, as it is quite low for something that is out of our control. Thanks again though for the feedback.
Eh
It looks interesting in the website, but quickly gets boring
Delivers, But Could Be More
This game gives you the Wiki Game, as promised. It's polished, it works great. Plenty of single-player fun. That's just it though, I know there's a multiplayer variant online. I think if multiplayer features were available this would get my five stars.
Response from developer
Appreciate the feedback. You mention the app "is polished and works great", and has "plenty of single-player fun" - and that's just what the app was made to be: for those who wanted a single player version of the online multiplayer game, so it's a bit disappointing/confusing you end up rating it relatively low. Thanks for the input though.
Fun Game, Please Fix
Just one quick note, on iPad the results screen is cut off and you can read the lower section that mentions something about the perfect path.
Fun little game though.
Fun little game though.
Response from developer
Hi, thanks very much for the feedback, and the issue you mention is now fixed! Hopefully with this fix we can earn that 5th star in your review :)
Love it!!!
Wish there were more levels and more games like it!!!
BORING!
No real challenge to the game
