Come Play With Us!

Open Museum has launched the Association Game. It starts with an image posted by Ole Worm, a member of the Open Museum team and all round playful guy. The object of the game is quite simple; match Ole's pick with an image that resembles, suggests, alludes to, or reminds you of the first one. Or the immediately preceding image in the series; not everybody agrees.

As a matter of fact, at this point the rules are still in flux. Including whether there should be any rules, any winners, or any official way of keeping score. All these questions are under active discussion in the Game Discussion Forum. If you're interested, come play.

Any member of Open Museum is welcome to participate in both the game and forum. Borrowing from the OpenSpace Conference approach our guidelines are that whoever shows up belongs and whatever happens should happen. Of course, within the terms of our user agreement. The bottom line is every member of Open Museum agrees to respect the other members.

And in case you're wondering, the play is invisible to non-members.
