Peekaboom.org - Phetch - Image Game For a Good Cause

Phetch is an image search game with a charitable cause. The purpose of the game is to have one player, the "Describer" describes an image selected by Phetch to the other players.

Using whatever words you choose, explain what you see to the 2-4 "Seekers". The seekers then use Phetch's image search bar to enter in your keywords to produce images that might correspond to the Describer's description. Choose the photo you think best matches the description, and if you're right, you win and earn 100 points for the round, and will become the next Describer. Describers win 200 points for successfully describing an image and producing a positive answer from one of the seekers.You can also pass if you're really stumped, but it will cost you 5 points, and guessing incorrectly will cost you 10 points. You may be wondering what the point of this game is, and that's where the philanthropic motive comes into play; your tags and keywords for each image you describe will help visually impaired people to better navigate the net.
