AI Hunt is a room-based hidden-object AI pre-literacy game converted from Question Hunt logic, designed for children aged 3-8 to learn AI vocabulary through play.
The child visits 10 familiar home rooms — Kitchen, Bedroom, Living Room, Bathroom, Garden, Garage, Attic, Hallway, Playroom, Laundry. Each room has a beautiful inline SVG illustration in rich pastel colors that works perfectly on smartphones with no external images to load.
In each room, there are 5 objects: 3 AI gadgets that demonstrate the room’s AI term + 2 ordinary household items as distractors. Each object shows its name and its term badge directly below the icon, so children don’t have to guess from the icon alone.
- Tap an AI gadget → Celebration: “YES! Smart Speaker has MEMORY!” Counts as 1/3 found
- Tap ordinary item → Gentle feedback: “Good guess! Socks are ordinary—no AI MEMORY, just warm feet!” Does NOT count, encourages to keep hunting
Each room’s question directly links the AI term to the object, e.g., “Which 3 gadgets HAVE MEMORY?” — If the term is MEMORY, the child must find which 3 AI gadgets have memory.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this AI pre-literacy game, children will be able to:
- Recognize 10 core AI vocabulary terms and explain each in simple words
- Differentiate AI vs non-AI objects—understand which everyday gadgets use AI and which are ordinary
- Connect AI concepts to real life—Model = recipe, Memory = bedroom remembers you, Vision = eyes see flower, etc.
- Build AI literacy foundation—Understand how AI reads (Token), remembers (Memory), sees (Vision), hears (Voice), sorts (Classification), thinks (Inference), creates (Generation)
- Develop observation and categorization skills through hunt gameplay
How to Play:
For Children:
- Look at the room picture and read the question at top: e.g., “Which 3 gadgets USE A MODEL (recipe)? Find them!”
- Tap on objects in the room. Each object shows:
- Emoji + Name (e.g., Recipe App)
- Term badge: Bright yellow = AI term (e.g., MODEL) or Gray = Ordinary
- If you tap an ordinary item: It says “Good guess! This is ordinary, not AI. Keep hunting!” — try another!
- If you tap an AI gadget: Celebration popup! “YES! MODEL! This gadget USES A MODEL!” → It counts as 1/3 and gets a ✓
- Find 3 AI gadgets with the room’s AI term to unlock Next Room button
- Tap “Parents Clue” if you need help — shows what the AI term means and what to say to child
- After 3 found, tap “Next Room → Ready! 🎉” or the celebration popup to go to next room
- Complete all 10 rooms → Trophy! “AI Hunt Master! 30 AI clues found!” → Play Again or Exit to Home
For Parents / Teachers:
- Use the “Parents Clue” button — it gives you: AI Term definition, what to SAY to child, and an activity prompt
- Ask: “Which of these HAS MEMORY?” Let child reason, don’t just tap randomly
- After each room, ask child to repeat: “What is MODEL? Model is AI’s brain like recipe!”
