I absolutely love playing this game. It combines fun with a bit of education. However I do have one suggestion that could help its users learn even more. I noticed that when you find the Wikipedia page early, I have the urge while waiting to read through the Wikipedia articles I had come across during the game. However, I am stuck on the screen and cannot leave the app (or else I will get kicked out). If the developer can figure out some way to allow early finishers of the race to read articles while in the app and while waiting for other competitors to find the page, this app could be even more fun and feed my love to learn. (And it will become in my mind a 5 star app)
I am definitely inclined to give this game 5 stars, its super fun and especially fun to play with friends. The only reason to not give it 5 stars would be how spotty the connection is and how rarely this game actually works to connect to other players. I regularly try to play this game with strong wifi connection at home and sometimes it takes literally minutes to connect me to another player, or it just loads and loads and never connects even though it says i have proper connection. Playing off wifi is nearly impossible and sometimes it randomly drops the connection when im in the middle of a game. If these connection issues and bugs were worked out, i would definitely give 5 stars as the game is incredibly fun and mentally challenging in a good way, however im barely ever actually able to play the game due to these issues. And i understand that it “could” be my wifi connection specifically, however if im able to play COD Warzone on my wifi, this game should work and most of the time it doesnt.
I love this app. I love playing with my teenage children and cannot believe that I am just discovering this app now. I see that it is available by the month or year but has no option for a larger one time donation. Could you please add a provision to “buy a cup of coffee” or something like that?
Love the concept but trying to connect with your friends is an absolute nightmare. There’s no consistency. Sometimes it works, sometimes one person out of the group is left out completely and stuck in an infinite “waiting for host” screen while the others start the game, sometimes multiple people have that problem. Also occurs when a new round starts, randomly. Everything else about the app is great but it’s extremely inconsistent if you’re looking to actually play against other people.
I love this game. I really do. The one thing is that the connection is TERRIBLE. It takes forever to connect to another player, and even then, the page refuses to load or stops working after the first or second round. This is no matter the Wi-Fi, service, or whatever else. There should at least be a single player option or an option to play against a randomized past game with the same categories. Anything for better connection.
My family has tried repeatedly to play this game for over a year. Whenever we all get together for a gathering we try to play. EVERY time, there’s one person who can’t join the game. We try and try over and over. We try with different people as the host. We try with the person who can’t connect as the host. On the off chance we get all the players into a game, someone always gets kicked out. Sometimes it’s the host who gets kicked out which ends the game for everyone. It’s a great concept. I really want to love it but it never works!
The concept is great. The way the game plays is phenomenal, and it looks great. Some attention is definitely needed on the quality of the private game servers. My group of friends have all picked up this game and are obsessed, but get frustrated when trying to get everyone in one lobby reliably. It works for 2 or 3 people most of the time, but 4 or 5 is almost always shoddy. Download this app so they can address these issues!!!
I can’t believe it took me this long to find WikiRaces (luckily I’m way faster in-game lol)… it’s basically my perfect game. If you’re into “connecting the dots” kinda stuff and have a wide range of knowledge, you’re gonna love this. My one request (which is the only reason I’m withholding one star) is to better incorporate solo play into the game. Like make it accessible from the menu, and more importantly, have stats for solo play (games played, WikiPoints, avg time, etc). I only play this solo and it would be really great to track my solo play and be able to see my improvement (or lack thereof) over time. Other than that this is BRILLIANT 🥰
This is a great game, but local multiplayer since the last update doesn’t seem to work. It used to drop everyone into a game once someone started, but now there’s a handful of issues with Game Center and iCloud
I’ve been having a lot of fun playing the single player version but I cannot get the multiplayer version to work. Even after sending invites or searching for any global player, the option just doesn’t seem to work.
I would give this game 5 stars if it had some sort of practice mode or a way to play online players. It is a lot of fun to play with friends but not everyone has the app. I would love to play this game on my own spare time. Please implement this into the game! Thank you.
This game is pretty good and a lot of fun to play with your friends! However, finding online matches is nearly impossible. More people need to play this game it’s so good!
I would like to play this game, but it seems like the lobbies are empty. It also seems abandoned, as the dev has not updated the game in a year. farewell, at least it looks well designed.
Fun idea and great potential, but never works for multiplayer
This app has so much potential and can be so enjoyable but it never works when we try to play with 3 or more people. One person always is never able to connect and never functions properly. Great idea though when executed properly.
Game is fun, but why is there no solo option to race against a clock? It’s taking me over 5 minutes in a queue to find someone, and I still didn’t find anyone. And I can’t play the game solo. So what do I do?
I love this game, and love to play it with my friends. It’s very fun, entertaining, and educational. The issue I have is, if you host a private game it kicks the host out by the third round.
I bought the yearly subscription, and I pressed restore purchases button because the purchase didn’t work, and ITS NOT A REAL BUTTON! You scammed me and many others out of money and YOU KNOW YOU DID! Make it a real button!
all of a sudden it won’t let me create a game because “i’m not logged into icloud” but i am logged in and i’ve tried it again and again :( i love this game please fix the icloud issue
Hey great take on the old "get to WWII from any page on wiki" I was wondering if you could add the ability to do single player practice, also not sure if you can play with others bot on the same wifi
This game is so great. I’m addicted and my friends and I love play if each other There needs to be a way to customize the races so there’s a limited number of rounds. My sister and I were on round 17 wondering when it was going to end. I couldn’t figure out how to make the race non-endless. If there’s a way, I’d love to know how! If not, that would be a good fix, please :) Also get it on android, please! I have a friend I plan on destroying as soon as he’s able to get it on his phone.
I just discovered this app and I am OBSESSED! It’s such a great way to test your knowledge. I just wish that more people were playing, because when I try to have an auto-generated match, I could sometimes wait for 10+ minutes and still no one would join. I don’t really have anyone to play it with in real life so that’s the only thing that’s annoying. But I don’t think there’s anything the developers can do about that, unless it’s genuinely a matching issue. Solo matches just aren’t the same. I’m not sure why multiplayer even has to be done through game center, which is what seems to make it glitchy. I’m sure you’d get a lot more players if it was an “Among us” type scenario where anyone could join as long as they have the code.
