⇳ Description Experimental tribe is a web platform for gaming and social computation. It helps researchers to realize web games/experiments and it let people join, while enjoying, the scientific research. ➠ Purpose [[Has project purpose::Experimental Tribe is a web platform designed for scientific gaming and social computation. In the last few years the Web has been progressively acquiring the status of an infrastructure for “social computing” that allows researchers to coordinate the cognitive abilities of users in online communities, and steer the collective action towards predefined goals. This general trend is also triggering the adoption of web-games as a very interesting laboratory to run experiments in the social-sciences and whenever the peculiar human computation abilities are crucially required for research purposes.

Experimental Tribe help Researchers in the realization of their own web-experiments by accomplishing those necessary and tedious tasks involving the management of human resources (User registration, validation, selection and pairing, etc.). In this way Researchers can solely focus on the implementation of the core part of their experiment and forget about the rest, while keeping full control over their own experiment and full ownership of the data they gather.
