The subject invention provides a unique system and method that facilitates
an interactive game-powered search engine that serve the purposes of both
users who may be looking for information as well as game participants who
may desire to earn some reward or level of enjoyment by playing the game.
More specifically, the system and method provides feedback to a user
based on the user's input string or a string derived therefrom. The
feedback can be a response or answer to the user's input in the form of
text, an image, audio or sound, video, and/or a URL that is provided by
one or more game participants when there is some degree of consistency or
agreement between the responses or when individual players have
demonstrated good reliability in their responses.
