Goose Goose Duck is a strategy communication game where you work with your fellow geese while completing missions. While you do, try and spot the malicious mallards who have infiltrated your team to stop you. Then, after the task, you get to vote out players that the group thinks are suspicious. It seems like a copy of Among Us, however, its enhancements and twists (increased player count, more roles, built-in proximity chat so you can overhearing other players if you're near them) have earned it a popular following in its own right.

While the general spot-the-traitor play persists throughout, there is a range of modes that change up that challenge. This game also offers more variety in roles than Crewmate (Goose) and Imposter (Duck) that include:

• Vulture: Consume multiple corpses but you can't kill.
• Cannibal: Consume one corpse and can kill.
• Dodo: Get yourself voted out.
• Pigeon: Infect all other players to win.
• Falcon: Be the last survivor to win, but you can't vote.
• Gravy: Work for a secret extra bounty, but you must survive to keep it.
• Mechanic: Can use vents for quick traversal.
• Birdwatcher: Limited vision but you can see through walls.
• Detective: Can interrogate another player to see if they have been killed.
• Silencer: Choose another player and stop them from communicating for a round.

These expanded roles make the game more complicated since you won't know who to trust to vote out. Even if they are suspicious, you are less certain. In this way, the game gives rise to a much wider range of tactics than the standard Among Us format. These are further enriched with a range of modes:

• Classic: Complete duties and avoid getting killed while figuring out who are the imposter ducks and voting them out.
• Draft: You take turns to be the ducks and can choose between one of three roles.
• Goosehunt: One player is the duck trying to kill everyone else before time runs out.
• Dine and Dash: Red team of ducks tries to kill the blue team of geese before the time runs out. But the blue team can eat corpses to speed up the clock.
• Hanging Out: A set of mini-games that are just a social lobby.

The result is a game that manages to take the Among Us formula in new and interesting directions. It doubles down on the parlour game aspect of these and leverages its proximity chat (where you can hear other players talking if they are near you in the game) to great effect.
