Duckabout

There's a duck around the corner. Go and say hello.

Duckabout puts ducks on a real map of wherever you are. Walk to one, tap it, and there it is, through your camera, waddling about on the path in front of you. Flick a slice of bread. If it likes you, it joins your Pond Book. If it doesn't, try a seed cake. Some of them are fussy.

TWELVE DUCKS TO MEET
Mallards and Tufted Ducks on every pond. Teal that leave the moment you blink. A Runner Duck that runs. A Mandarin with no modesty. An Eider down by the coast. A Rubber Duck that nobody can explain. And once in a very long while, the Golden Duck. Every one of them drawn by hand, every one with its own quack.

REAL PONDS, REAL WALKS
Parks, ponds, lakes, canals and fountains near you become places to feed the ducks. Visit one for bread, sometimes seed cake, sometimes an egg. Eggs hatch as you walk: two kilometres for a common duck, ten for something rare. Your buddy duck waddles beside you on the map and finds feathers along the way.

SOMETHING EVERY DAY
Three small quests each morning. A streak for every day you meet a duck. New ducks every fifteen minutes, so the walk to the shops is never quite the same twice.

MADE TO BE GENTLE
• Chunky, hand-drawn sticker art
• Meet ducks in AR, or in a park scene if you'd rather not use the camera
• Your podcast keeps playing underneath
• One thumb: walk, tap, flick
• No ads

FREE, WITH DUCATS
Duckabout is free to play. Ducats are the coins that buy bread, lures, incubators and more room in your bag; you earn them from quests every day or top up in the shop. The optional Duckabout Pass adds a daily gift box, faster hatching, a weekly lure and a hat for your buddy.

Please look up from the map when you cross a road. The ducks will wait.

The Duck Boutique. Every duck in your Pond Book now has a wardrobe: hats, specs, scarves, jumpers and wellies in five slots, worn on the map, in the Pond Book, in portraits and on postcards. The Boutique puts a new shelf out every Monday, with seasonal collections and a few dated Limited pieces, all bought with Ducats at the price shown. Nothing you wear changes how a duck is befriended.
