Summary
Public Eye debuted on Peacock as a serialized mobile detective game from Dick Wolf-backed Wolf Games, putting players in the role of Officer Logan Dine investigating his uncle’s murder.
AI-generated visuals and puzzle-led episodes are designed to tap demand for microdramas and interactive storytelling, as Peacock pushes to blend video, gameplay and narrative inside one app.
40% of Peacock mobile users played a game on the app in June, and players of Wolf Games’ earlier Law & Order: Clue Hunter are averaging more than six minutes a day, according to Peacock.
The launch expands Peacock’s in-app game lineup, which already includes Law & Order: Clue Hunter, Jeopardy! TODAY and Wheel of Fortune TODAY, following NBCUniversal’s partnership announcement with Wolf Games last October.
