Laddy's thread reminded me of a very entertaining game we used to play at GHF. This game would get me by on obnoxiously slow work days.
Anyway, the first person (me to start out) posts a random wikipedia article (found by clicking "random article" on the navigation menu) and that becomes the target page. Then, everyone else clicks "random article" as well, and tries to reach the target page from your starting point in as few clicks as possible, and then copy/paste your path here (either open tabs or save each link as you go). Once someone has found a legitimate path to the target page and posted it here, the finder posts a new target article, and the process starts over. What makes it more difficult are a few restrictions:
1. NO back button. If you screw up, you either need to try to go around in a loop (I've done it plenty of times; it's usually not too difficult) or start over with a new random page.
2. NO going to the target page and then clicking "what links here." However, you CAN go to the target page and read it to see what sort of things are mentioned to give you an idea of how to find it.
3. NO using "See Also" or "Category" links at the bottom of the page. The link must be used in the article itself.
4. If a target article is not found within a couple of days of people trying with no success, someone can post a new target article. I don't think I've seen that happen before, though; it's just to keep things moving if you all suck too much.
EDIT: 5. The new target article can be chosen however the finder wishes, whether by another Random Article search or any subject the chooser wishes.
I think those were all the rules we used. Feel free to offer any suggestions.
EDIT: considering this is not just a one-word game, I don't think it should be constrained by the traditional "1 post in 10" rule. Just don't regularly post an answer every-other post. Unless it's really slow.
Anyway, first target article: Lela Rochon. Go!
