Let Wikipedia articles battle it out in the arena and predict the winner!

Each round pits two random Wikipedia articles against each other. Your task: Guess which article is longer or gets more views. Oh, and you have to pick the category as well based on what you think is the safer bet.

🌐 The game requires an internet connection to retrieve the Wikipedia data.
🎮 Fully playable with a dual-stick controller: right stick to point, R2 to click.

Game Modes

Arena: The "roguelike" mode. Try to reach 10 correct predictions before being wrong 3 times!
Endless: How many predictions can you get right before being wrong 3 times?
VS WikiBot: Play "last one standing" against a WikiBot that progressively gets better at playing the game the more you win. Can you beat WikiBot MK 25?
Daily Arena: An arena run that's the same for all players each day. Do you think you can read the internet's collective mind better than your friends?
Streamer VS Chat: Play against your favorite Twitch streamer (or against your chat if you're a streamer yourself)!
Local 1 VS 1: Challenge a friend to a hotseat duel!

Who would make this and why?

Fabian Fischer (@Ludokultur) created the game to start exploring the "trivia roguelike" genre. Games such as Wordle or Babble Royale show how much the "free depth" of language itself can be used for game design purposes. WikiArena applies a similar approach, using the "internet's meta" as its core language.
