Game
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.
Puzzle pieces
There are 42 "wikicoin" in the symbolic form of plastic puzzle tokens. A combination of players can connect 5 matching wikicoin to build up a pillar, represented by a mutually agreed community card or custom written card.
Mini-games
A variety of mini-games, including regular and wiki-specialized board games, scavenger hunts, talent shows, etc. Each mini-game is administered by one of the "Last Admins" who in the present dark ages have been entrusted with a handful of wikicoin to distribute to winners.

Victory condition
The collective goal is to build up "new pillars" for Wikipedia, and suggestions for pillars will be written on community cards, or players can write up their own. Any combination of players that can use 5 tokens to build up an agreed pillar will then nominate a "new co-founder" to manage it. At the end of the evening the various co-founders will have the authority to re-found Wikipedia if they can agree on a "second Five Pillars" to complement the original set, with the wording of each pillar subject to negotiation among them.
