If you’ve ever watched an episode of Law & Order and, like us, immediately started guessing who did it before the detectives figured things out, NBCUniversal clearly knows you’re not alone. And we have good news!
What is Law & Order: Clue Hunter About?
The company is launching Law & Order: Clue Hunter inside the Peacock mobile app starting May 19, giving us the chance to investigate crime scenes instead of just watching them from our couch.
The game, created with Wolf Games, focuses on hidden-object style investigations. Players search scenes for clues, identify suspects, and work through cases inspired by the Law & Order universe. NBCUniversal says new cases will arrive every week, so it sounds like the app wants us checking back regularly instead of treating it like a one-time experience.
What stands out most is how clearly this was designed for phones from the beginning. The cases are meant to be played in short bursts, which honestly fits the way most people already use streaming apps while multitasking or scrolling during the day. Peacock isn’t sending us somewhere else to play either—the whole thing lives directly inside the app.
Check Out the Trailer Below:
The Law & Order: Clue Hunter trailer leans hard into the classic procedural vibe we love from the franchise. Flashlights, evidence boards, tense investigations—it definitely looks like it wants us to feel like part of the case. And we like it!
According to Elliot Wolf, Chief Creative Officer and Co‑Founder of Wolf Games, the goal was always to put us directly into the center of the action. In his words, “Law & Order has one of the most passionate and enduring fandoms in television, and this game gives fans a new way to engage with the world they love.”
That idea of “active participation” is clearly the driving force behind NBCUniversal’s larger strategy here. Jim Denney, EVP and Chief Product Officer, NBCUniversal Media Group, described Clue Hunter as part of the company’s push toward “watch-and-play experiences,” blending traditional viewing with interactive engagement inside the same platform.
It’s also worth noting that this is only the beginning of NBCUniversal’s partnership with Wolf Games. The companies already confirmed another project called Public Eye is headed to Peacock later this summer. That one is being described as a narrative-driven experience built around episodic crime stories, secrets, and different points of view.
Honestly, the bigger picture here feels pretty obvious: NBCUniversal wants us interacting with these franchises, not just watching them once a week. And for Law & Order, that actually makes a lot of sense. We have been trying to solve these cases before the detectives for decades anyway. Now we finally get the chance to prove we can.
Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU are available to stream on Peacock.
