Q: This is so cool. How can I help?
A: Play a lot! Peekaboom allows us to gather useful information about random images from the Web, which is used to train computer vision algorithms. The more you play, the more information we get.


Q: Are all the images in the game safe for children?
A: The vast majority of the images in the game are safe for a general audience. We work hard to remove images with mature content from the game. Unfortunately, there is no way to ensure with 100% accuracy that all mature content will be removed from the game.


Q: When I click "Play Now," I get a window with a small "x" in it, indicating that my browser cannot display something. Can I not play the game?
A: Peekaboom is written as a Java applet and requires your browser to have the Java JRE version 1.4 or later. If you only see an "x" in the game window, you probably need to install Java for your browser.
