What is PuzzleDuck?

Part walk. Part puzzle. Part “hang on, I’ve got it”.

PuzzleDuck turns a real place into a game you play together. Choose a hunt and let the app guide you. Look up, compare guesses and spot the details you’d normally walk straight past.

  • The place is part of the puzzle

    A doorway, a statue, something above your head. A good excuse to look a little closer.

  • Better with your people

    Bring your curiosity. Cheerful arguments and confident wrong answers are welcome too.

How to play

Liverpool. Look a little closer.
A warm-up: what’s watching over the clock?

A bird. Look at the very top of the tower. That’s the idea: the answer might be right above your head.
