All in all, the original Duck Detective was a wholesome, entertaining, totally charming bit of brilliance, and this stand-alone sequel does it justice.

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping is a triumph of a game, with humorous writing paired with a genuinely tricky mystery and intuitive de-duck-tion-based gameplay.

Thumb CultureMay 20255/5 stars
My time with Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping was both amazing but short. I’m glad that Happy Broccoli Games have now made two Duck Detective games and I’m hopeful there will be more. I just wish there was more of this sequel just like there are slices of bread in a bag. Hopefully this review would convince people to get this game and start a cult following. Because a game like this should be treasured before it flies south for the winter! I give Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.

This short, sweet detective game is exactly that-short and sweet. With the ability to allow hints or turn hints off, you can increase the difficulty if you're a super sleuth, or keep it easy if you're looking to veg out. The cast of characters is vibrant, and the jokes are plentiful. Follow Detective Eugene McQuackin and find some not-so-hidden clues to help quack the case.

The Duck Detective is back, and his down-and-out personality is as wonderful as ever. Unfortunately, the mystery on offer here isn't quite as good as last time, but there are still plenty of pleasing puzzles and investigations to get your beak stuck into.
