Everything you need to write about Peekabout.
Peekabout generates AI-adapted nature scavenger hunts for family walks. Pick your terrain, the weather, and a challenge level from ages 3 to 16 - the app creates a unique list of things to spot. Works offline once generated. No accounts, no ads, no subscriptions.
Peekabout is a mobile app that turns any family walk into a scavenger hunt. Parents choose their walking environment (woodland, park, shore, countryside, urban, riverside, or moorland), the current weather, and how long they'll be out. The app generates a list of things to spot, tailored to the season, terrain, and a challenge level you set (ages 3 to 16).
Two starting points suit different moods: Start a Hunt for a relaxed walk where Explorer mode reveals a handful of items at a time, or Start a Challenge for a timed race against the clock with one item revealed at a time and personal bests for every species. Each item comes with progressive hints and a "did you know?" fact when found.
The app learns what each family has spotted before and adjusts future hunts to keep things fresh. Everything works offline once generated - no signal needed on the trail. There are no user accounts, no data collection beyond the hunt parameters, and no advertising.

Peekabout is made by Ben White, a transformation and innovation specialist based in the UK. The app grew from a habit of improvising scavenger hunts on family walks and wanting something that adapted to the actual environment rather than offering generic checklists.
