How the Witch of November doomed the'Edmund Fitzgerald' Fifty years after the Great Lakes freighter sank, scientists can explain the weather that still haunts Lake Superior. When the SS Edmund Fitzgerald left port on November 10, 1975, there was no way for the crew to know what they were sailing into. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. On the afternoon of November 9, 1975, when the set out on its 746-mile run from Superior, Wisconsin, to Detroit, Michigan, Lake Superior was mostly calm. Even so, the crew likely saw the red sky from the intensifying storm gathering over the Great Plains.

In recent years various games have been developed to generate useful data for scientific and commercial purposes. Current human computation games are tailored around a task they aim to solve, adding game mechanics to conceal monotonous workflows. These gamification approaches, although providing valuable gaming experience, do not cover the wide range of experiences seen in digital games today. This work presents a new use for design concepts for human computation games and an evaluation of player experiences.
