I just received an announcement from the SIG-IRList about the flickling challenge, a "game" designed around known-item image retrieval from Flickr. The user is given an image (not annotated) and the goal is to find the image again from Flickr using the system.
I'm not sure how well it will catch on with casual gamers--but that is hardly its primary motivation. Rather, the challenge was designed to help provide a foundation for evaluating interactive information retrieval--in a cross-language setting, no less. Details available at the iCLEF 2008 site or in this paper.
I'm thrilled to see efforts like these emerging to evaluate interactive retrieval--indeed, this feels like a solitaire version of Phetch.
