This question & answering game engages players with the tremendous collection of European cultural heritage objects in Europeana.
Players can pose questions that are answered by Europeana resources. When posing a question, the asking player needs to provide the correct answers as URLs to Europeana resources. Other players can then try to answer the question by searching via an interface to Europeana.
A live demo of the game is available at http://mics.fim.uni-passau.de/CGWAP/
CGWAP requires an instance of the Apache Tomcat Web Server with a Java Runtime Environment version 7 or higher and a PostgreSQL database (version 9.0).
The database connection settings and credentials can be specified in WEB-INF/config.properties.
Afterwards, the WAR file can be deployed as usual.
The concept, ideas and rationale for the game mechanics and design choices are explained in more detail in "A Game with a Purpose to Access Europe's Cultural Treasure" [J. Schlötterer, C.Seifert, L. Wagner and M. Granitzer, GamifIR '15]
