## Overview

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.

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.

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.

The app runs the whole walk: set up, preview the route, walk it with turn-by-turn hints and hear the story at each stop. It is not released in the app stores yet.

A child or an adult, a theme such as a historical walk, and steps avoided if needed.

The round trip and its numbered stops on the map, or a new route with one tap.
