Wikipedia:Sandbox/Dead End
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dead End is a Wikipedia game where you follow wiki links until you get to either:
- a) the article start, or
- b) a dead-end page.
This is a bit complicated, so make sure to read all the rules.

[edit] Rules
- Click the "roll the die!" link below in the game. (Different games will have different dice. Games three and five share the same dice.)
- Look on the last page in the game list, and go there.
- Whatever number the die gave you, look down that article, and count the links until the die number is reached. Templates and categories do not count. (For example, if the die number is 3, and the page's first three links were Racism, Black, and KKK, then the article name you would need would be KKK.) If the die number is higher than the number of links, use the last one on that page. Skip over red links.
- List that article on the right game (unless the previous in this game was posted by you)
- Click on the link. If the page is a dead-end (no links, excluding templates and categories), you've won! List your name and game on the Hall Of Champions, and note it in the completed game.
- If the link that you find leads to the article start, you've also won! (See above.)
- You may only take one turn at a time. Please do not take two turns in a row in the same game.
