The map is made by people
A pin only appears when someone finds a duck and chooses to post about it. Nothing is tracked in between — no signal, no chip, no following anyone around.
About Us
A rubber duck, a QR code, and a world full of people willing to say “I found this.”
What we do
DashDuckies makes collectible rubber ducks that can be followed around the world.
Every duck carries its own Quacker Tracker code. Before you set one loose, you give it a name and a short story. Then you leave it somewhere — a café windowsill, a summit cairn, the seat pocket on a flight.
Whoever picks it up points their phone camera at the code, reads who the duck is and where it has already been, and posts where they found it. A pin lands on the map, you get a message, and the duck carries on without you. Some travel a few streets. Some cross oceans.
How a duck travels
- 1A duck goes outYou name it, write its story, and leave it somewhere out in the world.
- 2Someone finds itThey point their phone camera at the code on its base and read who it is.
- 3They post a sightingA photo and a place. That drops a pin on the map and lets you know.
- 4It keeps goingThey leave it for the next person, and the trail grows a little longer.
What we care about
Every duck has a story
You name each duck and write where it came from before you set it loose. Whoever finds it reads that story on their phone, then adds the next chapter.
The best part is letting go
Leave a duck on a park bench, a hotel lobby, a hiking trail. Where it turns up next is completely out of your hands — that is the whole point.
Anyone can join in
Finders never need an account or an app. They point a phone camera at the code, and they are in.

A word about tracking
We call it a tracker, but nothing is being tracked. There is no chip, no signal and no device inside a DashDuckie — just a printed code. The map fills in only when a person decides to scan a duck and post about it, and it shows the duck's journey, not yours. You can read exactly what we collect in our Privacy Policy.
