Pack your magnifying glass, your keenest instincts, and maybe… extra bread. The world’s most dramatic waterfowl sleuth is back in action. Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping officially waddles onto iOS and Android on November 27, 2025, bringing quacks, clues, and cozy chaos to mobile players everywhere.
Developed by indie studio Happy Broccoli Games, this stand-alone sequel continues the adventures of Eugene McQuacklin, the trench-coat-wearing detective duck with a broken heart, a carb habit, and a stubborn knack for sniffing out nonsense. The game first launched on PC earlier this year and quickly earned more than 1,600 “Overwhelmingly Positive” Steam reviews, soaring into indie darling territory like a mallard with a mission.
Now, it’s ready to charm mobile sleuths with a free-to-start version, plus a one-time purchase to unlock the full mystery.
Welcome Back to the Duck Detective Universe
If you missed the first game, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, don’t fret. This sequel stands alone like a heroic bread-thief perched on a park bench. Newcomers and longtime fans alike can dive into this quirky, heartfelt, and delightfully absurd whodunnit without missing a beat (or a quack).
The story follows Eugene as he heads to a luxury campsite plagued by supposed ghostly antics. But the only real spirits haunting him might be heartbreak and carbs. There’s mystery, there’s emotion, there’s feather-ruffling drama. Also, yes… there is a dedicated button to quack. Critics made very sure we noticed.
Glamping, Ghosts, and Guilt: A Cozy Crime Adventure
In this 2 to 3 hour cozy mystery, players will:
- Interview suspiciously quirky characters
- Examine clues and fill in deductive blanks
- Untangle campground secrets and solve the case
- Enjoy full voice acting from a cast dripping in charm
- Feed justice, and possibly pigeons, with baked goods
Along the way, Eugene gains an unexpected partner. Teamwork isn’t his preferred strategy, but crime waits for no duck, and neither does emotional growth.
This isn’t a grim detective noir; it’s warm, witty, and gently absurd, like Sherlock Holmes performed by papier-mâché puppets who take their craft way too seriously.
Free-to-Start, Affordable to Finish
The mobile release follows a friendly model:
Free to start, one-time payment to unlock the full investigation.
No micro-transactions. No mystery loot crates. Just old-fashioned detective work and bread-based catharsis.
