Help Molly turn a mountain hike into an incredible nature discovery! In Seek the Peak, you’ll head out onto the beautiful trails of Qyah to explore the local wildlife and flora. Your goal is to climb your way to the summit while gathering important information to write a brand-new field guide. As you hike through the wilderness, you'll need to observe the world around you, collect data, and measure what you find. It’s a race to the top of the peak where every plant and animal you discover helps complete your mission!
