For teams and meetings
Team and meeting duck race
Nobody volunteers to go first. Twenty seconds of rubber ducks later, somebody has to, and they're laughing about it.
Share your screen, paste the team, and press Start. Duck Race Derby picks fairly, shows every position on a live board, and gives you the full order if you need more than a winner.

What teams pick with it
- Stand-up and retro order. Race once and read the final standings top to bottom. That is your speaking order.
- Who presents, who takes notes, who demos. Race, then Remove winner and race again for the next role.
- On-call and rotation duty. A public, visibly random draw is easier to accept than a manager's choice.
- Door prizes and raffles at company events. Put names or ticket numbers in the lineup and run it fullscreen. Load a sample prize draw.
- Settling the lunch order. Race the restaurants instead of the people.
Made for screen sharing
Video calls compress fast motion, so the ducks move steadily rather than darting around, and the position board carries the story in large, high-contrast text. Share just the browser tab and press fullscreen; the board stays beside the course. Sound is off by default, which spares everyone a surprise starting horn through the conference speakers.
Fair enough for the people who lose
The result comes from the browser's cryptographic random generator at the moment you press Start, and every name has the same chance. Duck looks, list order, and who is presenting the screen have no influence. If someone asks, send them how fairness works.
Save the team once
Save the lineup on your computer as "Platform team stand-up" and reopen it every morning. To share the same setup with a co-host, save a.duckderby race file, or copy a setup link if the names are fine to share.
Running a bigger company event?
Hosted events, coming later, will put the same race on every attendee's phone with your branding, heats, and a results page. See what hosted events will include and join the list.
Somebody has to go first
Let the ducks decide who, in front of everyone.
