Goose Goose Duck is not your ordinary social deduction game. While it’s almost always compared with Among Us, Goose Goose Duck amps it up by a couple of notches by having a total of 45 roles. Being familiarized with all of them gives you a serious edge as you can have better strategies that can guarantee you victory no matter which role you end up having.
What are all the roles in Goose Goose Duck?
It can be a bit overwhelming for new players, so we’re here to explain all roles in Goose Goose Duck. We have divided them into three: those who play in favor of the good guys which are the Goose, those who play for the bad Ducks, and those who only meddle with the game and will win if neither Goose nor Duck are successful with their objectives.
For the Classic game mode, only the two basic roles apply: Goose and Duck. However, for other game modes with expanded roles, more special roles are added.

Below are all the roles of those who are with the team of Ducks, who are basically like the Impostors in Among Us. Ducks need to kill all of the geese in silence to win as they sabotage various areas on the map. Ducks can also just avoid being caught, killed, or voted out until the end of the game. Most ducks can also use the vents to travel around the map. If you’re a Duck, you can fake doing tasks to disguise yourself.
| Role (Duck) | Objective or description |
| Assassin | You can kill someone during meetings by correctly guessing a role. This can be done twice in a game. |
| Cannibal | Can eat a corpse once per game. |
| Demolitionist | Can plant bombs on other players. |

| Identity Thief | Can shapeshift into your most recent victim until a meeting is called. |
| Invisibility | Can be invisible. |
| Lover | Stay alive with your lover. |
| Morphling | You can shapeshift into other players. |
| Ninja | You can kill two at a time within range simultaneously, but the cooldown is thrice as much. It recovers faster in the forbidden passageways. |
| Party | Can give other players a high-pitched voice during meetings. |
| Professional | Your victims cannot be seen by the geese but it gets automatically reported when they get near them. You can’t report corpses. |
| Serial Killer | Kill your target to decrease your cooldown, but killing others causes it to increase. |
| Silencer | You can mute others during meetings but you do not have the ability to go through vents. |
| Snitch | You can put someone in jail by being the only player who votes them out. |
| Spy | Can reveal someone’s role by being the only one to vote someone out. |
| Undertaker | Can drag bodies at a reduced rate in order to keep them hidden. |

Other special roles in Goose Goose Duck

It’s also possible to be on neither side of the geese or ducks in the game. When you land on any of the roles below, it means you have your own set of objectives. It’s trickier to be successful in these roles, but what’s great is that you do not need to collaborate with anyone but yourself. Your goal is to meddle with the geese and the ducks and selfishly achieve your objective to win.
| Role (Duck) | Objective or description |
| Dodo Bird | Get voted out to win. |
| Dueling Dodos | Complete all your fake tasks to be able to kill the other Dodo. Once the other Dodo is killed, get voted out to succeed. |
| Falcon | Always skips voting. Be the only one alive in the end to win. So long as you survive, geese only win by tasks and the ducks through sabotaging. |
| Pelican | Keep swallowing players as they die when a meeting is called. Be the last survivor to succeed. |
| Pigeon | Infect every single player in a round to win. |
| Vulture | Eat corpses to win. |
We recommend that new players begin with the Classic game mode to first get the hang of this highly addictive game. Once you master the basics and have familiarized yourself with the special roles, you can enjoy the other game modes more and have better chances at winning, no matter what kind of role you end up having.
