A living view of places conventional data misses
We map where people shop.
So retailers know where to open, and media teams know where to advertise.

The network / October 2026
250k+ local answers in ten weeks.
2Klip opened on 21 July. Three consecutive complete weeks in September each delivered more than 50,000 accepted answers. This is a collection network growing in public.
August: 65 750. September: 187 846. The 28 September week was incomplete at extraction and is excluded. The game expanded from three collection instruments to four, so this compares total throughput, not same-game retention.
Source: 2Klip operations extract, 1 October 2026. Cumulative accepted mission answers: 253 644. The 12k+ figure includes devices and free practice, not monthly active users. Management-reported, unaudited. Definitions and dates

Evidence in the field
The game grows the network. People verify the places that matter.
FOONA is paid fieldwork, not another name for game answers. Contributors check selected observations with photos and location evidence.
Cape Town / mapped communities
Seven Cape Town communities, already mapped.
2Klip answers come from many more places. These seven cleared the formal Ninety One ESD count by 28 September; the map marks locality centres, not individual homes or submissions.

In Abidjan, the same collection approach produced 219 approved observations covering 76 unique billboards in a field test completed in under a day. It is completed field proof, not a nationwide launch.

A game became an intelligence asset.
timbuk2 began with a simple idea: the people closest to a market can reveal what conventional data cannot see. We turned that knowledge into play and paid participants for verified evidence about the world around them.
Pikaboo’s media product has been used in enterprise production. We’re now connecting the game’s field signals to repeatable enterprise decisions across markets.
