DuckWichita is the strangest, smallest movement in town — tiny patriotic ducks hidden across the city, each one a chance to win something local.
What it doesn't have is enough small, random, ridiculous moments of joy between strangers.
So we made some. A few hundred tiny patriotic ducks, hidden across the city. Find one, and you're part of something — including twice-monthly drawings for Huge Local Prizes.
That's it. That's the whole thing.
Each duck carries a QR code on a small Duck Tag. That code is the secret door — only people who find a duck can scan in.
Spot one in the wild — coffee shops, benches, trails, storefronts across Wichita.
Each duck has a Duck Tag with a QR code. Scan it with your phone — that's your entry.
You'll land on a secret page. Drop your name, you're in the bucket for 1 full year.
Two drawings a month — the 1st and the 15th. One name from the whole flock wins each time.
Once you're in the flock, snap a photo with your duck and post it to Instagram or Facebook using #DuckWichita. When we spot it, your single entry jumps to 5 entries — five times the shot at the prize. Just make sure the duck is in the photo. Always free, no purchase ever.
The only way into the flock right now is to find one in the wild. Follow @gvonflue on Instagram for clues on where the latest ducks have been dropped.

Twice a month, someone in the flock wins something cool — local prizes, experiences, gift cards, tickets. Past winners live here.
Drawings happen on the 1st and 15th of every month. We'll feature each winner — and their prize — right here. Follow along on Instagram to find out who.
Local restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, boutiques, services, and event spaces can sponsor a month, donate a prize, or just host a duck. It's low-key, real, and connects you to the actual people of this city.
DuckWichita was started by Garrett Von Flue — a Wichita Realtor who wanted to do something for the city that wasn't a billboard, a yard sign, or a sales pitch.
