About the game
Ever felt like Sherlock Holmes, but in a much cuter and more colorful version? That is exactly what Deduckto brings to your table! If you enjoy fast-paced games where your brain works overtime while you laugh at the adorable illustrations, get ready. The goal is simple, yet tricky: you receive a secret card with a suspect, and your mission is to identify who that character is before anyone else. But it's not just about the animal; you need to connect the dots between the creature, the disguise they are wearing, and the location where they were last spotted.

The gameplay is a true logic puzzle. Clues appear, and you must filter what is useful from what is just a distraction. Is the pigeon wearing a mustache in the park? Or is that pig wearing a wig at the pier? Each round is a race against time and against the wits of your friends. It is the perfect type of game for those who want something that doesn't require a 50-page manual but still makes your brain work hard to avoid wrong guesses.

The game shines through its agility. In just 15 minutes, you've solved the mystery and are ready for the next round. It is ideal for travel, for playing while waiting for a snack, or for introducing newcomers to the hobby with something more complex. Just a quick heads-up for collectors: since the game relies on reading cards, keep an eye on the language requirements to ensure no one gets lost mid-investigation. Ultimately, Deduckto is pure investigative fun with visuals that win everyone over instantly!
