Play Rabbit HoleHow the night unfolds
- 01
Choose your rabbit hole
Play the Daily challenge, choose an Easy, Medium or Hard Quick pair, or search for your own From and To articles in Custom. This is a solo game: reach the target article by following links inside Wikipedia articles.
- 02
Choose exact articles
For a Custom run, select a search result for both From and To. If a title has several meanings, choose a specific article. Custom routes are unverified and unranked; a connection may or may not exist.
- 03
Follow the links
Read the current article and open one of its article links. Each successfully loaded destination counts as one move. The game’s Back button also costs one move. Links to sections on the same page and failed loads add no moves.
- 04
Find the target
The timer begins when the first article loads. It keeps running if you switch away or refresh, and stops when the target article loads.
- 05
Share the challenge, keep the surprise
Daily results can share the exact dated challenge, your moves and elapsed time, and a link to play it. Shared results leave out article titles and your route. Results stay local, with no global leaderboard.
Reach the exact target article. Your result records moves and elapsed time. Failed loads and same-page section links add no moves; Back adds one. Results are local, with no global leaderboard. Custom and unverified runs are unranked.
Picture this
Opening a link to a different article adds one move. Using Back to return adds another. Jumping to a section within the current article does not add a move.
A few good ground rules
- An internet connection is needed for article searches, pages and route checks. Wikipedia pages and links can change.
- Search chooses a starting pair before a run. During a run, use the article links and the game’s Back control to keep the move count honest.
- Your current run is saved in this tab’s session storage. Refresh can resume it; closing the tab may clear it.
- Wikipedia is an external encyclopedia. Rabbit Hole is an independent game and is not affiliated with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation.
Your run stays in this tab’s session storage. Wikipedia searches, article loads and route checks need an internet connection. Refresh can resume the run; closing the tab may clear it.
