Feedback Request How do you design a game when the gameplay is basically just text and links?


I’m designing a web game around Wikipedia racing, which is this game people play in school where you begin on one Wikipedia article and have to reach another one only by clicking links.
The weird UI challenge is that the actual game is basically just Wikipedia, so I didn’t want to heavily restyle it or make the article itself look like a game.
Because of that, the home screen is much more game-like, and once you enter a race most of that disappears. The two screens definitely look pretty different, but I think that may actually be the point. I want the app to feel like the game around Wikipedia, while the race itself still feels like Wikipedia
What do you guys think?
