Guitar to Chernobyl in three clicks.
A private league for your group chat, run like fantasy football. Two challenges a week, everyone's results revealed together, a new champion every month. Wikipedia racing is the first game — it won't be the last. No app to install: your friends tap a link and they're in.
You can see how close you are.
Every other Wikipedia race makes you click blind for five minutes with no idea whether you're getting warmer. We show the distance to your target after every single hop. Watching it fall 3 → 2 → 1 — or spike because you followed a link to Byzantine fiscal policy — is the whole game.
Links are big, thumb-sized and tappable. There's a search box, because scrolling a Wikipedia article on a phone is nobody's idea of a Tuesday.
Everywhere else
Tiny blue links. No feedback. You find out whether you were close when you finally give up.
Start a league
Name it, get a link. You're the commissioner — you set the pace and post the results.
Drop the link in the chat
Your friends tap it, type a name, and they're racing. No app store, no password, no email.
Play twice a week
Monday and Thursday, 24 hours to finish. Miss one — it happens. Only your best rounds count.
The league is the product. WikiRace is just the first challenge.
Seasons, standings, sealed results, the Tuesday reveal — that machinery doesn't care what you're playing. Anything that produces a score and an argument plugs straight into it. We're launching with one game because one game, done properly, beats five half-finished ones.
WikiRace
Get from one Wikipedia article to another using only the links in the page. We show how many hops you have left after every click — nobody else does that.
Race variants
The same race with the rules bent, so a season doesn't settle into a routine:
- Hub ban — the obvious bridges are blocked
- No search — find it by actually reading
- Sprint — fewest clicks stops mattering, the clock is everything
New challenge types
Formats that aren't races at all — guessing games, ranking games, daily puzzles. Each one drops into the same season and the same standings, so your league keeps its history when a new game arrives.
Nobody sees a route until everyone's done.
Results stay sealed while a round is open — you can watch the count of who's raced climb, and that's it. When the round closes, every route unwraps at once on a page you can drop straight back into the group chat.
The people who got hopelessly lost are the best part, so they go first.
The thread does the rest.
We don't want to be your group chat. There's no feed here, no comments, no notifications begging for attention. FriendLeague makes the thing your friends argue about, then gets out of the way — one link, dropped where everyone already is.
The results post writes itself. The roasting is on you.
Seventeen friends who never see each other.
Scattered across five time zones, down to birthday messages and the occasional meme. Two races a week put them back in the same room — without anyone having to find a date that works.
That's who this was built for, and they're the ones playing season one.
Want one for your group?
We're running the first season with a single friend group to get the rhythm right — and building the next challenge types while they play. Tell us about your group and we'll send you a commissioner invite when the next batch of leagues opens.
