Finding Ducks

How do I find duck locations?

Ducks are hidden in public places throughout your city. Look for clues on social media, check the Duck Map for hints, and explore popular landmarks, parks, and local businesses. Some ducks have clues that lead to others!

Do I need NFC to scan ducks?

Yes, your phone needs NFC capability to scan ducks. Most modern smartphones have this built-in. Just hold your phone near the duck sticker or tag, and it will automatically register your find.

What happens when I find a duck?

When you scan a duck, it's added to your collection! You'll earn points, and the duck may contain hints to other locations, special messages, or promotional offers from local businesses.

Using the App

How do I view my duck collection?

Open the app and navigate to "My Finds" to see all the ducks you've discovered. You can view details about each duck, see when you found it, and check any special content it contains.

Can I play with friends?

Absolutely! You can compete with friends on the leaderboards, share your discoveries, and join local duck hunting groups for collaborative hunts and special events.

What if my scan doesn't work?

Make sure NFC is enabled on your phone and you're holding it close to the duck tag. Sometimes you need to move your phone around slightly to find the right spot. If problems persist, contact our support team.

How does scoring work?

You earn points for each duck you find. Different ducks may have different point values based on difficulty and rarity. Your total score determines your position on the leaderboards.

Are there different types of leaderboards?
