The game is to go from one wikipedia page to another just by following wiki links.
I have just played this, starting with Shakespeare intending to reach Dan Brown. Why these two Entries? Well, because it looked easy enough to do and I didn't have too much time to spend. (And easy it was: I got to the second page in only five links!)
In any case, that was an entertaining way to pass time with the internet.
Next time I'll try to go backwards -- from Dan Brown to Shakespeare. Or from Coffee to Theorem. Or from Puffin to Muffin. Possibilities are infinite

Ooh! Sounds like a good game. I shall play it when I have a day to spare.
Do you get a score depending on how few degrees of Kevin Bacon you do it in?

Ed: You can score it as you like. More interesting paths should be rewarded too -- mine was quite obvious after all. I was quite happy that it was shorth though, not sure there is a shorter one
