We did something like this. We looked at SCVNGR and rejected it due to its
wacky cost model and limited feature set. (And stupid name.)

We ended up doing something with ipods that the library maintains, shared
Evernote accounts, and a Google spreadsheet. Requires hand-scoring, but
works really well.

Not sure if it'll work for you, but take a look at the tech overview [1].
If it looks worthwhile I can fill in any missing details.
