Hide it
Tuck a duck somewhere a stranger will grin to find it: a park bench, an airplane tray table, the rail of a cruise ship.

Things to do with a duck.
A game to play, three good things to pick, and a Friday evening you can walk through minute by minute. No background needed — start wherever looks best.
how it works
Hide it. Find it. Pass it on.
Somebody hides a duck. Somebody else finds it and grins. Then it goes back out for the next person, and the whole thing starts again.
Find it
Every duck comes with a tag, and the tag carries a QR code. Scan it and the sightings map opens up, showing everywhere the flock has been.
Pass it on
Snap a photo, add it to the map, and hide the duck again for the next person.

Shabbat
One day a week, the world goes quiet. Candles Friday at sundown, challah and wine, and a full day to rest, eat, and just be — until three stars come out Saturday night.

Questions people ask.
What makes the duck "kosher"?
It's a wink, not a hechsher. The duck is kosher-themed — bright blue, a Star of David, שלום across the chest, Jewish pride worn out loud. (And no, you can't eat it. If people ate Tide Pods, we wouldn't risk it either.)
Do I have to be Jewish for this?
Not even a little. KDR is about Jewish joy, pride, and kindness — and it turns out those travel well. The ducks are found and loved by people of every background; a Hindu man once asked whether we make one for Diwali. If a rubber duck can make you smile, you belong here. The doors are wide.
Do the ducks really have a QR code?
Every duck comes with a little tag, and the tag carries the code. Scan it and you land on our sightings page, where you can add where you found it and see everywhere the flock has been. One duck, many hands, a map that keeps growing.
More of them, and where the money goes, on the About page.
Found a duck?
Snap a photo and tell us where it turned up. It goes on the map with every other duck the flock has found — and then you get to hide it again.
