Are you new to GGD and want to get into the game and mechanics as quickly as possible? With this guide and our helpful tips, you will get a quick and smooth start. Some basic facts for possible Newcomers first:
Is the game free?
Goose Goose Duck is free-to-play. It only includes some microtransactions for cosmetic purposes. However, these are not mandatory.
Where can I get the game?
You can find the download links for all available Platforms (On Steam for PC, macOS, Google Play Store for Android, and Apple Store for iOS) on the website of developer Gaggle Studios.
What is this Goose Goose Duck game all about?
Perhaps you have already noticed: The game’s structure is very similar to Among us. There are two factions competing against each other – the geese as a cabin crew and the ducks as traitors in goose costumes. The geese aboard the spaceship called SS Mother Goose must work in cooperation to try to keep the spaceship stable and complete various missions in the process. The ducks, on the other hand, must try to prevent this from happening and sneakily murder unsuspecting members of the geese.
How do I quickly become familiar with GGD?
When you start the game, you will see a short introduction explaining the purpose of the game. After the introduction, you will find yourself on the start screen, and you can start right away. However, we recommend that you watch the in-game tutorial of the Goose Goose game beforehand, which will explain the gameplay and all related game elements in detail. Once you have understood and internalized the theory, then it can go into practice. Enter a lobby by clicking on the menu button “Play”. There you can either join a random lobby or create your own and invite friends.
What is the gameplay like?
Up to 16 players can join a lobby. Once you’ve joined, you have some time before you get into the actual gameplay. If you are in the team of geese, now is the opportunity to consult with each other and see tasks that are given to you or that you assign to other players. The tasks and their status are always visible at the top left of the screen. Complete the tasks with your goose in time to win the game. As a duck in disguise, you have to disrupt this plan by secretly killing the geese and/or sabotaging their tasks.

More helpful GGD tips that will make you a better Quack
In order for you to quickly become a determined goose or duck and master your craft, we can give you these tips along the way:
Stay focused (Goose)
In the game, the ducks are the predators, and the goose is the prey. Specifically, as a goose, you shouldn’t let this fact get you down because you and your team will have a head start in time with the right strategy. Stay focused and complete your tasks as quickly as possible.
Try to be careful of possible ducks (Goose)
As a goose ghost, you just keep going. You can no longer attend meetings, but you can still continue your missions that can bring victory to the geese.
Calling a meeting (Goose)
Call a meeting immediately if you see someone kill someone or disappear through a ventilation shaft, and pass the information on to your teammates.
Use the vents (Duck)
As a duck, you must try to remain undetected as a killer and saboteur. You can do this very well by quickly leaving a crime scene through a vent. But don’t let others catch you doing it, or you risk being voted out.
The smartwatch is your friend (Duck)
If you’re a duck, you should definitely use this feature! It can be utilized to damage parts of the spaceship or generate sabotage missions to attract and kill unsuspecting ducks.
Stay normal (Duck)
You have caught the duck roll. Now don’t try to pull yourself out of suspicion with wild arguments. On the contrary, just act normal and keep calm. Raise a few issues here and there, e.g. why you don’t trust person X or Y while you pursue your murderous plans. Saying nothing is not a good solution either. Find the calm middle ground.
Agree with other lies (Duck)
When you encounter a lonely and innocent goose together, call a meeting and accuse the goose of being a duck. Cover the lies of your fellow ducks, and you should be successful.
Stay with your teammates (Duck)
Always try to stay in a group of three or more ducks. If someone gets the idea to leave the ship, follow and kill him quickly. Return to the group with the excuse of not having understood a task and asking for help.
Request for help
Pretend to need help with a task. If someone aids you, it means that he trusts you. Make sure to kill him as soon as he finishes the task.
