Detective Duck

Detective Duck is a cooperative puzzle game in the escape-room tradition, developed by Protocol: Anomaly and launched in October 2025. Players investigate crime scenes across themed maps to identify the criminal before time runs out. With 30M+ visits and 163K+ favorites in under six months, it has become one of Roblox's fastest-growing mystery games, regularly drawing 1,200-2,000 concurrent players across its 30-player servers.

Each session drops players into one of eight distinct crime scene maps, and the goal is to deduce who committed the crime:

• 🗺️ Crime Scene Maps - eight themed locations including Jewelry Store, Motel, Museum, Bank, Train, Suburbs, Theater, and Prison, each with unique layout and evidence
• 🎭 Cooperative Deduction - up to 5 players work together interrogating NPCs, examining clues, and eliminating suspects
• ⚔️ Deception Mode - a social deduction mode where one player among the group secretly plays as the criminal, echoing Among Us-style gameplay
• 🏆 Duck Battles - competitive mode where players use Quacks currency to compete against each other
• 💎 Detective Ranks - progression from standard play toward Experienced Detective and Royal Detective badges through solved cases
• ⏳ Seasonal Content - limited-time bundles like the 2026 White Edition Easter Bundle confirm ongoing holiday events

The economy runs on Quacks, a currency earned in Duck Battles and Deception Mode. The HEARTBEAT pass adds a lie-detection tension mechanic, while ASK UNLIMITED QUESTIONS removes interrogation limits for dedicated players. Private servers extend the group cap to 10, making them ideal for coordinated friend groups.

Detective Duck sits comfortably alongside Doors and Apeirophobia in Roblox's mystery-puzzle genre, but distinguishes itself through its active deduction mechanics and the social deception layer that creates replayability well beyond its eight current cases.
