Richard Herring's Six Degrees of Wikipaedia Bacon
OK, so the game doesn't have an official name, but the idea is to get from one pre-determined Wiki page to another in the least number of clicks. The current challenge on the Collings and Herrin podcast is to get from La Cagoule (French fascist anti-communist group) to Frank Bruno. Richard Herring did it on his first try in seven or eight clicks (has to be links within the text of the article).
You can either try that (I'm about to), or we can try a different one!

The point of the game is getting from one wikipedia page to another by clicking on links present in the articles.
