W artykule omawiamy grę QuestGen. Jej celem jest ułatwienie zbierania danych językowych na potrzeby badań nad zjawiskiem przetwarzania pytań. Gra QuestGen jest grą online, w której gracze rozwiązują zagadki detektywistyczne, zadając pytania do przedstawionych historii. Omawiamy implementację prototypu tej gry oraz rezultaty testów z użytkownikami.
