The Great Encyclopedia Adventure, colloquially known as "Game Night", is a loose overarching role-playing game for Saturday night at WikiConference North America 2019, and a utopic sequel to the Post-Information Masquerade of Friday evening.

Scenario

Following a disastrous decision by the WMF to offer an Initial Coin Offering in 2030, the encyclopedia has been effectively broken up, and the players can engage in any of a variety of mini-games to gather enough "wikicoin" together to re-found a unified Wikipedia.

Mini-games

A variety of mini-games, including regular and wiki-specialized board games, scavenger hunts, talent shows, etc.

Victory condition

There are 1,000 "wikicoin" in the symbolic form of plastic tokens. Any combination of players that has 501 tokens at the end of the evening has the authority to re-found Wikipedia if they can agree on a "second Five Pillars" to complement the original set.
