Google has launched an addicting game Google Image Labeler as a feature of Google Image Search.

The both players are shown same image from a set of image within a 90-second period, where they have to respond with as many descriptive labels or keywords or phrases for the image shown, until labels provided by both players matched on the same word or term, where points will be awarded to both players. When the label matches your partner’s label, both players will move on to the next image until time runs out. The players also can opt to pass the image, if they feel that it’s impossible to have a same opinion on the image.
