If you're hunting for instructions on how to do or fix something, you'll probably end up on wikiHow, a portal known not only for its eccentric content but also for the illustrations that accompany it. wikiHow has several parodies on the Web, but one of the most interesting is a game where you must guess the title of the original article, based on its main drawings.

The Curious World of wikiHow
wikiHow is without a doubt one of the most visited portals on the Web. It's available in 17 languages, and according to its developers, at least four babies have been born in emergency situations without negative effects using one of its articles.
At the same time, wikiHow is part of "zero-rating" programs in more than 40 countries (which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it), meaning many people are accessing its content. Now, wikiHow also has its comedic side, so to speak, with articles that are pure delirium.

The rest depends on you, and on how "accurate" the illustration is. For example, a girl calling 911 while grenades and knives fly by makes us think of a couple of options…
More Quirky Games
The portal is the creation of someone called "Lemon", and it's not the only one of its kind. One of the most interesting allows us to guess which is the most popular search on Google from a pair of letters, and its name "idiots.win" already tells us everything. The wikiHow game has been online for two years, but it's definitely worth visiting.
