This article presents the RoboCorp game. RoboCorp is a game with a purpose aimed at facilitating the annotation process of a natural language data. What makes this game unique and novel is the use of various mechanisms known from the popular Free to Play model to provide a fun and attractive gameplay. These mechanisms are presented and described in detail in the context of RoboCorp. The obtained annotation results are discussed and compared to other similar annotation tools available.
