Wikipedia game: Five Clicks to Jesus
Jump to Comments
Five Clicks to Jesus is, by far, the hippest “wiki-game” known to man.
Directions for Play:
- Go to Wikipedia
- Click “Random Article” (in the box under the big ol’ Wiki puzzle logo)
- Player has five (5) clicks to get from the random article to the article “Jesus”
(A click constitutes as going from one page to another. If you click a link and it brings you further down the page, that is not a click.)
Ready. Set. Go!
I did it and won:
Tyrrellspass Castle
William I of England
Pope Leo IX
Easter
Jesus
I bet you could do this with Kevin Bacon as well. As you know Bob, I am great at the Kevin Bacon Game. Jesus, Kevin Bacon, what’s the difference?
ETA: HOW is this old post so popular? If you play and post answers here, let me know what brought you to this post (ex: a link, a search, etc.)

John Lennon! Whoa!
Isn’t it addicting??
And I’ve decided to stop going for the obvious (ex. if you get a city or country, don’t go for demographics…try something else).
As for Kevin Bacon and Jesus… I haven’t fig’rd out my six degrees of separation from him, but I did check out this new initiative that Bacon is involved with: http://www.sixdegrees.org

Here’s your six degrees: the brother of a friend of mine wrote a movie in which KB starred. There ya go.

I’ve heard of this game before - I wonder how many fake hits “Jesus” is getting.
April 16, 2008 at 10:07 pm
According to the number of hits I get on this old post, I image it’s quite an impressive figure.

April 20, 2008 at 4:45 pm
The trick to make it challenging is to forgo a “random article” that seems too simple (like a year). I think it’s most challenging to do it in exactly five clicks.
