Sort Them Ducks Catalog Hub
Thousands of costumes, a few mean lookalikes, and a shop layout you can actually memorize.
The Steam page promises over 4,000 unique rubber ducks and hundreds of categories. Players who counted a full clear talk about 4,015 toys. This hub is not a spreadsheet of every hat. It is the three pages people need when a costume argues with a sign: categories, confusing ducks, and the store map.
Official copy names pirates, wizards, astronauts, knights, chefs, dinosaurs, and “many more.” Reviews add superheroes, food, countries, animals, and Tower color families. Those names are how you should talk to the HUD. If the name says Green Tower, it is not a mood-lit yellow.
How to use the catalog
Learn ten signs, not four thousand silhouettes. The HUD name is the API. Categories lists the families we can source from Steam and reviews so you stop inventing extra aisles. Confusing ducks is for the stare-and-doubt moment. The map is for windows, haze, and which neighborhoods to save for last if lighting bothers you.
When a counter is wrong, leave this hub and open missing ducks. When you cannot physically reach a plank, open high shelves. Catalog pages will not jump for you.
Why lookalikes exist
The joy of the game is variety. The tax is overlap. Chefs versus food. Superheroes versus anything with a cape. Towers that share a shape and split on color. Preview writers said most categories are obvious and some designs are not. That sentence is this whole category.
Tick families on the checklist as you finish them. Use skills when a name still feels like two aisles. Then put the wiki down. The ducks are the content. We are just the labels.
A catalog session that stays cozy
You do not need this hub open for the whole afternoon. Open it when a costume wastes a minute, close it when the sign makes sense. The Getting Started handful rule still beats any encyclopedia: one family per trip until carry upgrades let you hold a neighborhood. If you catch yourself scrolling this page instead of walking, you have already learned enough names for the next hour.
Steam will add costumes later if the developer keeps updating. Those new toys will get signs in the shop first. Until a patch notes page names them, treat unknown HUD text as a new family, not as a glitch. Place three, tick the aisle if the counter agrees, and only then come back to ask whether we should add a heading. That keeps the catalog honest and keeps you in the store where the jokes actually live.
