How to Create a Private Room to Play with Friends

Bringing the Fun to Your Circle of Friends

Playing WikiRace with strangers is definitely challenging, but this game reaches its peak excitement when played with close friends, schoolmates, college buddies, or coworkers during a lunch break. The frustrated shouts or cheers of victory in the same room provide a unique satisfaction.

For this exact reason, WikiRace Indonesia provides the Private Room feature, which is incredibly easy to use.

Benefits of Using a Private Room

• Exclusive Gameplay: Only people who have the specific code or link can join your game.
• Custom Rules: The Host (room creator) can set the starting and destination articles according to mutual agreement, making the race more personal (for example, racing to find an article about your university or hometown).
• No Registration Required: It is extremely practical! Your friends do not need to waste time registering for an account. They just enter a name and click join.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Room

Step 1: Go to the Homepage

On the main page of WikiRace Indonesia, find the section to create a new room. Make sure you have a cool name or nickname ready that you want to use while playing.

Step 2: Click "Create Room"

After pressing the button, the system will automatically create a special virtual room just for you. You will be given a unique room code, usually consisting of a combination of letters or numbers.

Step 3: Share the Invitation Link

You can copy the room link (URL) and share it to your WhatsApp, Discord, or Line friend groups. Alternatively, your friends can simply press the "Join Room" button on the homepage and enter the room code you provided.

Step 4: Set Articles and Start Racing

As the Host, you have full control in the lobby. You can:

• Choose the option to use a random pair of articles provided by the system.
• Manually type in specific starting and destination Wikipedia articles.
• Kick players who are AFK (Away From Keyboard) or not ready.

Once everyone has pressed the "Ready" button, you as the Host just need to press the "Start Game" button, and the countdown will begin.
