Re: How Do I Get to the Empire State Building?

Posted by on December 7 at 15:59 PM

Using the example I posted yesterday, I did a test run on the game last night. It took me 4 clicks to get from Beverly Hills 90210 to the Empire State Building, and 3 clicks to get from Janet Reno to the Empire State Building.

Beverly Hills 90210 to ESB:
1) United States
2) New York
3) Manhattan
4) ESB

Janet Reno to ESB
1) Ithaca, New York
2) New York City
3) ESB

Clarification on the rules:

The point is not to find the shortest route through trial and error. If you decide to click on a link, you are not allowed to take that click back. If that click sends you in the wrong direction, and you decide to click back to where you were, that counts as 2 clicks. So, you have to be thoughtful about every click as you go.

Also, the game is not about speed. You can take your time deciding on the best link to choose.

I’m now trying to figure out how to turn it into a drinking game.

My co-workers and I absolutely love this game. Sleep soundly with the knowledge that you've brightened the lives of several software testers in Bellevue. We barely got any work done at all yesterday afternoon. I blazed a wonderful trail from BIOS to Athlete's Foot.
