Peek-a-boo is a game played over the world, crossing language and cultural barriers. Why is it so universal? Babies don’t learn by reading books, and they don’t know that many people, so the surprising durability and cultural universality of Peek-a-boo is perhaps a clue that it taps into something fundamental in their minds. Then game can help show us the foundations on which adult human thought is built.

Peek-a-boo uses the fundamental structure of all good jokes — surprise, balanced with expectation. Researchers showed this in tests involving a group of six-, seven- and eight-month-olds. Most of the time, the Peek-a-boo game proceeded normally. But sometimes the adult hid and reappeared as a different adult, or hid and reappear in a different location. On these “trick trials”, the babies smiled and laughed less, even though the outcome was more surprising. What’s more, the difference between their enjoyment of normal Peek-a-boo and trick Peek-a-boo increased with age (with the eight-month-olds enjoying the trick trials least). The researchers interpret that the game relies on being able to predict the outcome. As the babies get older, their prediction gets stronger, so the gap with what actually happens get larger — they find it less and less funny.

The secret to the enduring popularity of Peek-a-boo is that it isn’t actually a single game. As the baby gets older, their parents adapt the game to the babies’ new abilities, allowing both adult and infant to enjoy a similar game but done in different ways. The earliest version of Peek-a-boo is simple looming, where the parents announce they are coming with their voice before bringing their face into close focus for the baby. As the baby gets older, they can enjoy the adult hiding and appearing, but after a year or so they can graduate to take control by hiding and reappear themselves.

In this way Peek-a-boo can keep giving, allowing a perfect balance of what a developing baby knows about the world, what they are able to control and what they are still surprised by. Thankfully, we adults enjoy their laughter so much that the repetition does nothing to stop us enjoying endless rounds of the game ourselves.
