Life as a private eye isn’t all it’s quacked up to be for the star of Duck Detective: Secret Salami. But when the simple case of a stolen lunch leads to a tangled web of crime and conspiracy, only Eugene McQuacklin can follow the (delicious) breadcrumbs. Interrogate hilarious suspects at a bus company to gather clue words, then use them to form “deducktions” that reveal identities and motives...and, eventually, the truth!

What we love: Using keen detective skills. Whether you’re snooping through computers or studying telltale looks in suspects’ eyes, connections slowly become clear—like the penguin janitor being in a secret relationship with the sheep who works in customer service. (Keep pulling on that thread and see where it leads!)

Quick tip: Pay attention to the first letter of each word in the odd note that the giraffe receptionist gets on her birthday. Seems like it contains a hidden message—one that’s kind of scary.

Meet the creator: Duck Detective: Secret Salami was hatched by Berlin-based indie studio Happy Broccoli. Creative director Annika Maar actually worked in a bus-company call center—and there’s a reference in the game to the time she dealt with a passenger who tried to bring 12 pigeons onboard.
