Peek and Tell
A song memory game with Ori
Hi, I'm Ori! Sometimes I watch a song and forget what happened. Pick a song and help me remember. I ask, you tell!
How to play
Here's how we play!
- Watch the song, then pick it here.
- I ask you what happened.
- Tap the picture you remember.
- Not sure? Tap Peek and take a look.
Free. No sign-in to play. Ages 4 to 9. Alone, or with you.
Peek and Tell is a play-along for after one of our songs. Ori wants to remember the song with your child: he asks about a few moments, in the order they happen in the video, and your child taps the picture they remember. It invites children to look back and talk about what they saw and heard. “Watch the song”, under each song card and at the end of the game, opens our own page for that song, where the video plays in YouTube's player.
- Playing alone
- With the sound on, Ori says every question and every choice out loud, so a child who can't read yet can play alone. No grown-up is needed; sitting beside them is nice.
- Taking their time
- There's no timer and no score. A child who waits hears Ori say the question one more time, and after a longer wait the Peek button glows once.
- If a tap isn't the one
- The tapped picture floats away like a bubble, and a peek opens: a real still from the video. When your child is looking for something in one big picture, a small ring shows where the tap landed instead, and the peek opens just the same. If the next tap isn't the one either, the answer glows and Ori offers to tap it together, so every moment ends with your child finding it.
- The jar
- At the end, the moments your child found fly into a jar as stardust. Every child who plays to the end gets the same full jar, peeks or no peeks, and playing again doesn't change it. Each song has its own jar, and there's no goal to collect them all. With a free family account, a child who plays under their own profile also gets the full jar in the cupboard of their room in My Little Home.
- What the browser keeps
- The browser your child plays in keeps the stardust from each moment they find. It keeps no record of which pictures they tapped or how many peeks they took. None of this is sent to us. It stays on that device, the jar in the cupboard too, and clearing that browser's data removes it. Stopping halfway is fine and costs nothing. The jar comes at the end of the game, and next time it starts again from the first moment.
The Rainy Day activity book
36 pages to print at home: colouring, two mazes, dot-to-dot, spot the difference, tracing and the song's moves. It's free, there's no sign-up, and black and white is fine. You can skip the covers to save ink. Print as many as you like for home or class, but please don't sell them or share them as your own.
If your child asks for the answer, say “let's peek together”. There's no need to go over the answers afterwards or to ask how many they knew.
