Campus curiosity just became competitive. PEEK by Butterfly Social Network is a social discovery app that turns profile views into a guessing game. Discover students from your university or explore profiles from universities everywhere, then take a peek at anyone who catches your attention. When someone visits your profile, you’ll receive three possible profiles and have 10 seconds to guess who peeked. Guess correctly, and you can connect with them. Guess incorrectly, and their identity stays a mystery forever. HOW PEEK WORKS •⁠ ⁠Discover people from your university •⁠ ⁠Explore students through the All Universities tab •⁠ ⁠Check out profiles and learn more about the people around you • Grow your Aura with every Peek •⁠ ⁠Peek at someone who catches your attention •⁠ ⁠Choose between three possible profiles when someone peeks at you •⁠ ⁠Guess correctly to unlock the connection •⁠ ⁠Start chatting and see where it goes PEEK makes meeting people feel exciting again. No endless swiping, forced introductions, or awkward first messages. It adds a little curiosity, mystery, and campus competition to your life. Whether you’re looking for new friends, classmates, campus connections, or someone you’ve secretly noticed, it all starts with one peek. Someone peeked at you. Can you guess who?
