Since the New York Times acquired Wordle, it seems most platforms and publications are jumping on the game wagon. The latest is Wikipedia, the internet’s favorite encyclopedia, with a new game especially enticing for history enthusiasts.
First reported by Kotaku, Wikipedia recently introduced a quiz game on its official Android app, called Which Came First? The game has a simple premise, which you could probably guess from its name. Wikipedia users are given two descriptions of historical events with images for clues. All you have to do is choose which event happened first, with five questions to try your hand at.
The game aligns with Wikipedia’s premise: a vast internet archive of people, places, and things, all available near the top of any search. At the end of the mini quiz, you’re given the average score of users and various articles attached to the answers, just so you can learn a little more.

Wikipedia’s archive for this game goes back to May 20th of this year, so it may have been around for a few weeks. But people still seem to be discovering it.
