-//"The photo collection of WW I is one of the largest of the Swiss Federal Archives. It contains more than 5125 negatives on glass plates which are successively digitized. They document the active service of the Swiss Army during the first World War Can you guess where the pictures were taken?"//
+This is a game about guessing and learning about geography through images and maps, made with Swisstopo's online maps of Switzerland. For several years this game was developed as open source, part of a series of [[https://www.geo.admin.ch/en/thematic-geoportals-federal-offices/storymaps-telling-stories-with-geodata.html|GeoAdmin StoryMaps]]: you can try the original [[http://mf-swissguesser.prod.bgdi.ch/main/storymaps/storymap5/|SwissGuesser game here]], based on a dataset from the Swiss Federal Archives now hosted at [[https://opendata.swiss/en/dataset/historical-photograph-collection-active-service-in-the-first-world-war|Opendata.swiss]].

+The new version puts your orienteering of Swiss museums to the test.
-At [[http://make.opendata.ch/wiki/event:2017-09|#GLAMhack 2017]] we play-tested, revisited the data, then forked and started a refresh of the project. So far we updated all library dependencies but got rid of the old data loading mechanism, with the goal of connecting (later in real time) to open data sources.
+Demo: **[[http://openguesser.utou.ch/|OpenGuesser Demo]]**
-Encouraged by an excellent Wikidata workshop, we are testing a new dataset of Swiss museums, their locations and photos, obtained via the Wikidata Linked Data endpoint (see app/data/*.sparql in [[https://github.com/loleg/openguesser/tree/wikidata-initial|wikidata-initial branch]]). This opens the possibility of connecting other sources, such as datasets tagged 'glam' on Opendata.swiss, and creating more custom games based on this engine.
