Picture Hunt
📷 Try Free
A real-life scavenger hunt for kids as young as 2: they hear an everyday object named in two languages, then go find the real thing and snap a photo. No reading required, just active play and a first taste of a new language.
Choose from 10 languages: Spanish, French, Mandarin, and 7 more.
Young kids pick up new words best when those words are tied to real things they can see, touch, and go find. Picture Hunt turns your home into the game board: name an everyday object in two languages, send your kid to track it down, and celebrate when they do.
It's part scavenger hunt, part first foreign words, all real-world play. The camera confirms what they found, the voice says it in two languages, and there's nothing to read. No flashcards, no sitting still.
Choose from 10 languages: Spanish, French, Mandarin, and 7 more. Every prompt is spoken in English and the language you pick.
"Can you find an apple? ¿Una manzana?" The kid hears both, in a warm, slow, teacher-like voice. No reading needed.
They run to the kitchen, point the camera at a real apple, tap one giant button. Big targets sized for tiny fingers.
Google's vision AI checks the photo instantly. Confetti, a sticker, and the new word sticks, because they earned it in the real world.
Every object is named in two languages and tied to the real thing, which is how little kids pick up new vocabulary.
Other apps are tap-tap-tap on a screen. This one has them on their feet, exploring real space.
Guided treasure-hunt adventures with a storyline, not an endless drill. A little narrative is what keeps a young kid going.
Photos go to Google's vision API for matching, then disappear. No accounts, no ads, no data collection. Progress lives on your device.

Built for kids as young as 2. There's no reading and nothing to figure out, so any young child can play, and bigger kids enjoy the hunt too. The audio-first design and giant tap targets are sized for little hands.
10 languages, all with native-quality audio: Spanish, French, Mandarin, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and Arabic. You pick one; every prompt is then spoken in English and the language you chose, and the foreign word shows on screen.
No. The app speaks both languages aloud in a clear, slow voice, so you don't have to know any of them yourself. Many parents pick up the words right alongside their child.
Really one-time. $24.99 unlocks everything, forever, on all your devices. We don't do recurring billing. No "cancel before the trial ends," no surprise renewal.
No. Photos go to Google's Gemini Vision API for one-time matching, then disappear. Nothing is stored, trained on, or shared. The app stores zero personal data: no signup, no account, no email collection. Progress lives in your browser.
Mostly. Modern vision AI is impressive but not perfect, and a young kid's photos are hard (blurry, off-center, odd angles). We tuned it to be generous: a sippy cup counts as a cup, a stuffed lion counts as a lion. When it does miss, a parent-override button marks it correct. Better to celebrate than frustrate.
The app shell loads offline (good for spotty WiFi), but the AI photo-matching needs internet. If your kid snaps a photo while you're off-grid, they get a friendly "no internet" message.
One dad, one 3-year-old, one coffee. She loved it, and she's picking up Spanish words from it. We're seeing if other families want the same.
Free to try, no signup, about 30 seconds to start, with Spanish included. If they love it, unlock all 10 languages once for $24.99.
