| Description | One Up is a head-to-head picture-tagging competition! Challenge a friend and see if you're smarter than they are: the best descriptions of the picture score the most points, but be careful not to be One Upped in this competitive game for Apple devices. One Up is best played by friends in the same room.
How to play: Challenge your opponent to a game. During each of the three rounds, the players see the same picture. Each player must describe the image using three single-word tags each round. Words can have three values: 1. Regular words give you +1 point each. 2. Awesome words (descriptions that other players have used in the past) give you +3/+5/+7 points each (increasing each round). 3. One Upped words happen when you type a word that your opponent has already submitted for this image. When this happens your word is worth -1 point and your opponent gets +1 point. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins! IMPACT: Libraries and museums across the world have millions digital media artifacts, such as audio, video, and images that have no tags. Without tags (also known as metadata) describing their content, these artifacts are unsearchable and virtually unusable. Unfortunately, metadata is time consuming and expensive to generate, and many institutions can't afford to tag their collections. One Up is part of the Metadata Games project, a free and open source suite of crowdsourcing games built to collect metadata with the public's help. Playing One Up sends tags back to the institutions from which the images are drawn, allowing them to be more accessible to everyone: to the institutions, to researchers, and to the public. Play One Up, save digital media artifacts from oblivion.
