Reading Wikipedia (http://mashable.com/category/wikipedia/) just got a whole lot more fun.
A new game called "Wikipedia: The text adventure" helps you navigate and learn more about the world using a clever modification of the online k**wledge database's API. You can start your journey with a suggested location or choose your own, and from there on the game dynamically generates options of places to explore.
SEE ALSO: Someone already made a Wikipedia page for 'Trump orb' (http://mashable.com/2017/05/22/trump-orb-wikipedia/)
For example, I started with my home state of Maharashtra in India. From there, the game gave me a few choices of other places in the state to explore.
