Peacock is expanding its mobile app into a casual gaming hub, with Law & Order: Clue Hunter leading the charge. The hidden-object game puts players in the shoes of an investigator, hunting for clues and pinning down suspects to crack a case. The game comes from Wolf Games, the AI-powered gaming studio co-founded by Elliot Wolf, son of “Law & Order” titan Dick Wolf, and was built on the studio’s proprietary generative AI engine. Also on the way: a mobile game based on “Jeopardy!”. The bigger picture: Peacock wants to be the app you can’t put down — and gaming is its latest weapon in the battle for users’ screen time.
