An official Wiki speedrun game in Roblox

Hacker News

Hi HN! I'm a PM at Wikipedia and have been working on a way to make Wiki speedruns into a playable game for younger gens (hence Roblox). Since a Wiki speedrun is where you go from one article to another using links on the page, the thinking was, let's make a 3D navigable maze that responds to your choices. We did it, and the feedback is pretty decent so far, but I feel like it needs something to make it more exciting. I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially if you're into games. How did we do?
