Wikipedia:Wikipedia Charades

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia Charades is a variant of Charades. It uses the rules of Charades with the following differences:

  • The Charade master generates the answer to be clued by visiting Special:Random and using the title of that page.
  • The Charade master must continue giving clues until one of the guessers gets the correct answer. No quitting or cheating is allowed!
  • The correct answer must exactly match the title of the Wikipedia page selected and must be stated as a single continuous answer.
  • The first guesser to correctly state the answer wins one point and becomes the next Charade master.
  • You can play first to N points, or on a total time limit.

This game can be extremely challenging based on the random page selected! It often requires syllable-by-syllable clues and can be painstaking for the guessers to remember the correct syllables. For instance, if you drew a page like Mladen Tepavčević or Amylocorticiellum, you're going to have some work to do. It's not uncommon for a single round to last 10+ minutes.
