Infoboxing

What is Infoboxing?

Infoboxing is a daily puzzle game that turns Wikipedia's infoboxes into identification challenges. Each day, the game presents five Wikipedia articles with their names hidden, showing only the infobox — the structured summary table that appears at the top of many Wikipedia pages. Players must identify which article each infobox belongs to, with one guess per article.

Editor takes

Five infoboxes, one guess each — a tight format that rewards close reading, but only if the clue selection is truly discriminating.

Five little brain-teasers you can knock out during a commute — quick, cozy, and easy to jump into without any setup.

How to play Infoboxing

A new set of five infoboxes appears each day. For each one, the article title is hidden, but the infobox's facts, dates, and figures remain visible. Type your guess for which Wikipedia article the infobox comes from. You get exactly one guess per article, so each answer counts. The game is played entirely in the browser and requires JavaScript to run.

Tips & strategy

• Read every field in the infobox carefully — dates, locations, and statistics are often the fastest way to narrow down the subject.
• Think about what kind of Wikipedia article would include that specific set of data points; the combination of fields is often more telling than any single value.
• If you're stuck, consider the broad category first (person, place, event, work, etc.) before trying to recall the exact article name.
