Mind the eyes

Class seen from the back row, six kids at their desks; the counter at the top says six people are watching

The counter up top shows how many people can see you. Make your move when nobody's watching.

Grabbing the skeleton that stands by the blackboard

Grab anything

If it isn't nailed down, it's yours. Even the class skeleton.

Tag the stalls

A bathroom stall door covered in marker tags; the counter at the top says nobody's watching

Leave your mark on every door in the bathroom.

Classmates answering with speech bubbles: back to your seat, yo, what about us?

The class talks back

Say hi, stir things up, send them back to their seats.

The whole school is yours

Classrooms, halls, bathrooms, the yard. And a bell that always rings too soon.

What is Duck the Rules?

Duck the Rules: Schoolyard Rebellion is a first-person game about school. You roam the classrooms, halls, bathrooms and the yard and break every rule you can without getting caught. It's an indie game, in development now.

What can you do in the game?

Tag the walls and the bathroom stalls with markers, flood the bathroom, shove the desks around, throw paper balls, grab anything that isn't nailed down (the class skeleton too) and wind up your classmates.

How do you get caught?

A counter at the top of the screen shows how many people can see you. The janitor and the Deputy Head, a duck in a black suit, patrol the school. If they spot you, you're taken to the Deputy Head.

What kind of game is it?

A first-person school sandbox: you walk around the school freely, with physics, a little stealth and a lot of pranks. A school simulator where breaking the rules is the whole point.

When can I play it?

The demo is planned for December 1, 2026. Join the waitlist and you'll get one email when it's out.

Who's in the class?

Ten classmates: Ace, Nerd, Gamer, Sport, Shy, Goth, Art, Dream, Glam and Punk.
