THE OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL FIELD GUIDE

QUACK
SMARTER.

You need a duck name. A math degree is optional.

THREE STEPS. MANY REGRETS.

A minute of training now. An extremely confident mistake later.

HOST ONCE. QUACK TOGETHER.

One host opens the shared screen. Two to eight ducks join by QR or five-letter code. Add bots in the lobby. No account needed.

CHOOSE A SHAPE. CHOOSE A ROUTE.

Pick a shape, adjust its sliders, and inspect the live path. More Tricks opens the rest of the eight templates. A Helping Wing can try a duck or a map stop.

LOCK IT. EVERYBODY FIRES.

Lock before the timer ends. You can unlock while planning. Unsubmitted shots get an automatic route at timeout. An airborne rocket survives its owner’s knockout.

THE OUTLINE IS THE TARGET.

Your duck’s body and head count. Hats, glasses, and accessories do not change the hit area.

THE PREVIEW HAS LIMITS.

It includes known map effects, gear, and active statuses. It ends at an unknown Chance card and cannot predict another duck’s rocket clash.

PICK A SHAPE

Start with the basic shapes. More Tricks reveals the rest of the eight templates. Adjust the labeled sliders, then inspect the route.

A map stop can be your destination while a different duck remains the recipient of a chosen-duck card.

POKE A NUMBER

In Type a Function, enter your own formula. Tap a colored number to open its slider, ± buttons, or exact value field.

Tab moves between controls. Arrow keys nudge a focused slider. Enter applies an exact value.

WHAT DOES x MEAN, EXACTLY?

x is forward distance from your duck. Choose left or right separately. 0.5*x rises; -0.5*x falls, before map effects.

The rocket follows f(x) − f(0). Adding a constant does not move its starting point. Functions move forward; they cannot loop backward.

MAKE IT THE BIG SCREEN

Use Big Screen on the host. If the browser declines, try its fullscreen command: F11, or Control–Command–F on Mac. Esc exits.

SET THE NOISE LEVEL

Open the sound button above for music, effects, announcer, volume, and reduced motion. Captions remain. Tap once if the browser has not unlocked audio.
