The value story
It has never been cheaper than $6.49. That was May 2026. 13 discounts in the 17 months on record. They run about 15 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $7.99 at 20 percent off still sits 23 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history. It becomes a BANGER at $6.50, a level the record has reached once.
At full price it scores 77. The current cut is what makes it a 81.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 60 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Frog Detective 3: Corruption at Cowboy County ($4.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Duck Detective: The Secret Salami ($7.49, scores 79).

What players say
A delightful pun and bad joke filled mystery, much like the first one. Someday Eugene and Freddy will kiss, but not this game apparently.
Big improvement over the first one, with a more consistent tone, more interesting characters, more intuitive puzzles and a more interesting ending. You don't really need to play the first one to get into this one either.
Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping was a fun little romp. It was quite easy to figure out all the clues, but nevertheless, it was an enjoyable game.
