Gaming for Reference Librarians

I thought I would do something different today and offer a challenge.
I was reading the ALA Direct and came across a website offered by Microsoft to “improve search results”
See how well you do on Page Hunt

Object of the game: Look at the website shown and guess the phrase or words that will ‘Hunt” down the website.  The site must be a top 5 hit to win points.

Feel free to leave a comment with you high score. 

Happy playing!
