Name that image
Game show contestants associate descriptions of graphics shown | |
A processor heat sink, A maple tree, An elephant (Indian or African), a painting by Monet... As the pictures display on a screen (versus a written description), the contestants hit their buzzer and guess what the picture is. Easy to guess images could be made more challenging by zooming in or out on
the object, or showing the object in a different color than normally seen. The contestant who gives the most correct descriptions of the images wins.
I'm thinking that this concept would have been tried before, but I can't find anything in a search. The closest thing I can think of is the "Guess what this is" challenge on "Ask this Old House." I suspect a Halfbaker will find this idea "baked" when hitting on the correct search words and synonyms.

This show would appeal particularly to "right brainers" I believe

Suppose I guess "Bridge over pond!" but my competition guesses "Painting by Monet". Who wins? Or do we need a tiebreaker legwrestle? |

The TV game show "Cash Cab" has a video bonus question at the end, but only a few of the videos actually wind up being a name-that-thing challenge. (The rest are just background things like a vid of an elephant followed by the question "What are elephants said to never do?") |

This is sort of exactly like children's flash cards.
Except for the buzzer. [see link] |

I seem to remember this being a recurring feature page in a scientific journal of optical and electron microscopy. |

I think some people like to do this with car parts. |
