| Description | Guess What! is the guessing game that takes two! One player sees 12 images, and the other player sees only one image. The second player must give her ally hints to try to help him find her image from the 12. The fewer guess it takes the more points each player receives. You have 30 seconds to give a hint, and if you give great hints, you'll both score big!
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. Guess What! 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 Guess What! 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.
