Description

Currently there is no explanation of how the game works in the lobby. Some people have been confused about how to play. There is also no explanation of Wikipedia.

Draft version of text:
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. All of the knowledge in Wikipedia is connected. Dinosaurs are connected to Fossils, which are connected to Microscopes, which are connected to Viruses, and on and it goes. Where your learning journey leads nobody knows!

This is what our game is all about.

You are about to enter a 3D version of Wikipedia. It is a series of connected rooms. Your goal is to find your way from the starting room to the ending room as quickly as possible. Or feel free to go at your own pace and explore the knowledge connections along the way.

Ways to present the text
  1. simple modal that appears when you click on a Wikipedia globe with the words "How to play" hovering above it
