A social deduction game played with whatever Wikipedia throws at you.
Grab two or more friends and a way to talk to each other. Your goal is to convince everyone you've read a random Wikipedia article you may never have heard of in your life, so I hope you've got a good poker face. You'll pick the game up in about a minute.[citation needed]

How does it work?
- 1. Everyone gets an article You'll each get a random Wikipedia article. Don't like yours? Redraw it. Pick something you reckon you could talk about.
- 2. Everyone reads Once everyone has locked one in, you all get a minute alone with your own article. Become the expert on yours. You should be able to answer anything you get asked about it.
- 3. One becomes the topic One of your articles is selected as the topic of the round. If it's yours, great, you actually read it. If it isn't, doesn't matter — you'll need to convince the guesser you know all about it all the same. Invent oddly specific details nobody can check, say them like you're bored of knowing them, and you might just get away with it. You know your friends. You know what they'll fall for.
Getting picked is how you score, so your job is to convince the guesser it was you. What that's worth depends on whether you actually read it. If they pick you and you did, you and the guesser take 2 points each. If they pick you and you were bluffing, you take 3, all to yourself. Whoever got picked is the guesser next round.
