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
The clock tower of the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool
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.
