Pyramid Tag for iOS

Can you guess what people will know about a photograph? We asked some random people to describe the image you are about to see in a single word. How many of these words can you match in 2 minutes?!Pyramid Tag is a Metadata Game: a game that gathers new information about archival materials from libraries and archives around the world! You are adding vital information to publically accessible records-- information that is often missing from descriptions or keywords describing media artifacts. GameplayIn this single-player image tagging game, the best descriptions win. But theres a catch-- you have to give the best tags that are four, five, six letters long and so on, that also match what random people out there would see in the picture. You get the point. Got a twelve letter word for a picture of a newt? You will win, win, win! Its trickier than you might expect.
