Original postSorry, we're quite limited when it comes to Halloween duck puns...
This is the *official* Halloween update, bringing you a selection of spooky costumes for your little ducks, and a couple of maps which you may or may not have seen before!
The all encompassing "sheet ghost" costume has been removed, allowing streamers to select a ghostly duck as a skin option instead. It also comes in "accessory", so !duckhat ghost to continue the scares.
Hat Options
- ghost
- greg (Over the Garden Wall)
- wirt (Over the Garden Wall)
- pirate
- pumpkin
- witch
- horns
- wraith
Map Options
- Graveyard (from last year)
- Heathen (previously exclusive map for DJ Descent)

Some long awaited content has finally landed! We're excited to share our latest map: Eggstravaganza!
A much longer and windier map than what you might be used to, but this is the first to proper utilise the new way we build our maps - allowing for greater variety in various segments of the track.
Also, as it is Easter, we have a new Eggciting treat! Unlike last year's egg hunt, your painted ovum will spawn near your ducks, adding a nice layer of chaos to all races (and maybe some Battle Royale, too).
Finally - a few returning favourites in the Hat Box: Bunny Ears, Egg, and the Easter bonnet!

Developer postBathtub Royale!
Watch your viewers battle it out in the tub, avoiding water wheels, bath toys, each other, AND the dreaded plug whirlpool, to come out on top as the Last Duck Standing! And when the tub is full, it'll overflow and ducks will be spilling out onto the floor.
