Street Peekaboo

Street Peekaboo is a quick browser game built around real street panoramas. Every day the site picks a new city from a collection that spans Australia, Japan, India, Israel, South Korea, Chile, Spain, Poland, the United States and more, and loads a 360-degree photo of one of its streets. Somewhere in that scene, in a tree, behind a bin or on a balcony, sits Kooka, a cartoon kookaburra painted to blend in.

A round lasts ten seconds. You drag in any direction to turn the view, scan the street and tap the bird when you see it. The street is the same for everyone that day, but the bird's hiding spot is drawn fresh for each round, so you can replay the street. To race a friend on the exact same spot, you send a challenge link that keeps the bird where you found it.

You can play without an account. If you sign in with your email, your spotting times are saved and you can climb the daily ranks, with boards for the fastest spotters and for the most consistent players, and playful titles from Pigeon Brain up to Kooka God. A score card can be copied or downloaded to share.

It doubles as a tiny daily trip around the world: on the day checked, a leafy road in Haifa, Israel, with a green city bus. It suits anyone who likes hidden object puzzles, street view browsing or a ten-second daily habit.
