Walk'n'Seek
A walk from your door, with a story told at the stops along the way.
Walk’n’Seek is a Flutter app that turns a walk into a story. You choose a length, a theme and whether a child or an adult is coming along. The app plans a round trip from where you stand, picks stops along it and tells a story at each one, read aloud. bon.do built the app.

What was the challenge?
The story only works if it fits the street you are on. The app has to plan a walking route of the chosen length that ends where it started, find stops along it that suit the theme, and keep tracking and talking while the phone is in a pocket.

What did bon.do build for Walk'n'Seek?
We built the app in Flutter with Riverpod. OpenRouteService plans the walking route and finds the stops, and each stop is enriched with facts from sources such as Wikipedia and Wikidata. Anthropic’s Claude writes the story from a theme description, and Google Cloud Text-to-Speech reads it aloud with the audio cached on the phone. A foreground service keeps location tracking running during the walk, and walks and saved routes are stored on the device.
