How it works

    You get two articles.

    A start and a target, like Pizza and the Moon.

  2. 2

    Follow the links.

    Tap links inside the article to move on. Every link you follow uses one of your moves, and so does going back.

Daily puzzle

A new puzzle every day

Everyone playing in your language gets the same two articles. Mondays are gentle and the puzzle gets harder through the week, so the weekend is a real test. Keep a streak going, and earn a streak shield from the weekly challenge to cover a day you miss.

Nine ways to play

  • Four difficulties

    Classic

    Pick a difficulty from ten links down to five, and a topic if you like.

  • 49 topics

    Topics

    Play only inside football, space, films, food or 45 other subjects.

  • Three minutes

    Time Attack

    You have three minutes to reach as many targets as you can.

  • No clock

    Chain

    There is no clock, and every target you reach becomes your next start.

  • Hidden target

    Mystery Target

    The target has no name, so you follow its clues.

  • Unknown start

    Blind Start

    You don't know where you begin until you've read the page.

  • Five links

    Hardcore

    Five links with no way back, no hints and no country pages.

  • Two to four players

    Rooms

    Race up to three friends on the same two articles.

You'll remember the way

After each round you see your route next to the shortest one, and you can answer three quick questions about the articles you passed. Every article you open joins your collection, and anything you want to read properly goes on your Read later list.

For everyone

Fifteen languages, every Wikipedia

Hyperhop speaks English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano, Português, Nederlands, Svenska, Polski, Русский, العربية, 日本語, 한국어 and 中文, and each one plays on its own Wikipedia. You can make the text larger, open up the line spacing or switch to the OpenDyslexic typeface, and every screen works with VoiceOver.

Privacy

Just the game

Hyperhop shows no ads and doesn't track you. You don't need an account: your progress is kept on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. Read the privacy policy.

Is Hyperhop free?

Yes. Hyperhop is free to download and play, and it has no ads.

Do I need an account?

No. Your progress stays on your iPhone and syncs through your own iCloud if you use it.

Which devices does it run on?

Hyperhop runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later.

Can I play offline?

You need a connection to load articles, but pages you've already opened are kept so a weak signal doesn't end a round.

Where do the articles come from?

Every article is a real Wikipedia article, loaded live in your language.

How do I play with friends?

Open Rooms and share the code, or send a challenge code from any round.
