HQ Duck Dash - how did your ducks do?

[+SoggyMoggy]

So the race has finished... How did your ducks do? I had 50% success rate:

 

HQ Duck Dash - Mr Quackers (TB7AK90) made it to an IGD event in Germany! Yay! He's now back traveling again 😀

 

His wife however didn't... HQ Duck Dash - Mrs Quackers (TB7AK9D) is still currently sitting in a cache in Sweden...

 

Does anyone know when we find out the results? Will there be some charts or something?

My husband and I had 100% success. We had 7 ducks - 4 for him and 3 for me and they all checked in. My question is - aren't we supposed to get a souvenir or something? Nothing has appeared yet

We had 2 from 2 make it to an event, on the morning of the event, one was still sitting in a nearby cache, and we planned to swoop by and rescue it, but another friendly cacher did it for us..... I was wondering about the souvenir (or whatever it is) as well??

Mine made it to an event as well. We are supposed to get a badge for our profile not a souvenir. Wonder when that will Happen

What exactly is a profile badge??

What exactly is a profile badge??

The only "badges" I've seen on profiles are gsak/earthcache.

I expect you will get an email, that contains a snippet of html. You can then edit your profile and include the html snippet, and the badge will be on your profile.

According to Geocaching.com email:

 

Thank you to all geocachers who entered a trackable into the HQ Duck Dash. Later this week, these geocachers will receive an official race badge to add to their geocaching profiles. Pro Tip: To receive this badge, make sure you are subscribed to Tips & Tricks in your Geocaching Account Settings

 

I quite like having profile badges so that's OK but it would have been nice to have a souvenir too...
