Terms of Service

By accessing or using WikiRun ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

WikiRun is a free online game that allows users to race through Wikipedia articles by navigating from a starting article to a target article using only hyperlinks. The Service includes training mode (available without an account), ranked competitive mode (requires an account), a global leaderboard, and related features.

To access ranked mode and certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information during registration and to keep your account information up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activities that occur under your account.

You may create only one account per person. Creating multiple accounts to manipulate rankings, matchmaking, or any other game system is prohibited and may result in the suspension or termination of all associated accounts.

Your username must be between 3 and 20 characters long and may contain only letters, numbers, and underscores. Usernames that contain profanity, slurs, hate speech, or any offensive, discriminatory, or inappropriate language are strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to change or remove any username that violates this policy without prior notice.

Usernames that impersonate other users, public figures, or WikiRun staff are also prohibited.

WikiRun is a competitive game, and fair play is essential. The following are prohibited:

• •Using external tools, browser extensions, or scripts to gain an unfair advantage during gameplay
• •Exploiting bugs, glitches, or vulnerabilities in the game
• •Colluding with other players to manipulate match outcomes or rankings
• •Intentionally losing matches to manipulate ELO ratings (sandbagging)
• •Using automated programs or bots to play the game
• •Circumventing any game restrictions or security measures

Violations of fair play rules may result in temporary or permanent suspension of your account, removal from the leaderboard, and/or reset of your ELO rating.
