How to Set Sail with Your Stowaway
Every duck is part of a bigger journey. Here's how the whole thing works — from the moment you crack open your kit, to the moment a stranger finds your duck on the other side of the world.
1
Find it.
A duck appears. Maybe on a park bench, a café shelf, a hiking trail, or tucked into the corner of a hotel lobby. Each one is hand-built from LEGO® bricks, comes with its own name, and carries a tiny laminated ID tag with a QR code that tells its story.
2
Scan it.
Pull out your phone and scan the QR code on the duck's ID tag. It opens a quick sighting form, already pre-filled with the duck's name and ID so you don't have to type anything in.
3
Log it.
Pick your location from a list — U.S. states, countries, territories, and popular cruise ports — and pick what you plan to do with the duck. That's it. The whole thing is drop-downs, no typing required, and it adds you to the duck's public logbook of sightings in about thirty seconds.
4
Keep it.
It's yours if you want it. Some finders become collectors — building a small shelf of rescued ducks they've gathered from their travels. There's no obligation to pass it on.
5
Or leave it.
Other finders prefer to keep the journey going. Re-hide the duck somewhere new — a different city, a different country, a different surface of the planet — and let the next person discover it. Both choices are equally good. The duck doesn't mind.
6
Track it.
Whether you've kept it, re-hidden it, or just want to see what the rest of the fleet is up to — visit the tracker anytime. Watch ducks crisscross continents, accumulate sightings, and build up a public logbook of where they've been and who they've met.
Got a duck? Got questions?
Whether you've just found one or you're about to release your own into the wild, the rest of the site has everything you need.
