        Do the games at: http://ontogame.sti2.at/games/, still work?
        The more data quality oriented games the better re. LOD and
        the Semantic Web in general.

    Hey,

    Most of the OntoGame games still work, and a more comprehensive
    list of related games is available at http://semanticgames.org/.
    One of the problems I see, however, is that all data collected
    through such games is not accessible or reusable by applications
    (or in other games, as a matter of fact).


Yes this is a really important point.

If you get the high score it should be part of linked data to your identity (eg like a badge). This makes the game 100 times more worthwhile to play!
In fairness, you want the games to be played by a very large user base, and most of these players will have nothing to do with Linked Data. They will need other incentives to engage with the game :-) But the results would be more useful, indeed.

A second problem that I've seen with the increasing number of games being released over the past years (including ours) is that they produce very similar data sets, mostly in general-purpose domains, for which there are actually knowledge bases available containing that knowledge (as RDF). Having a standard means to reuse such crowdsourced data sets would make the games definitely more valuable.

        Others: Are there any other games out there?


    iand is working on a game:
