If you’ve been exploring the new Summer Camp map in Roblox Detective Duck, chances are you’ve already run into a few puzzles that aren’t exactly obvious. Some clues are hidden behind tools, others require you to revisit older areas, and it’s surprisingly easy to miss important suspect evidence along the way.
I made that mistake the first time too. I thought I was almost done with the investigation, only to realise I had skipped a few pieces of suspect information and couldn’t finish the case. So, if you want a smooth run without wandering around wondering what to do next, this guide walks you through every important step from start to finish.
Collect the Rock and Charger Cable
As soon as the Summer Camp map begins, grab these two items:
- Rock
- Charger Cable
The rock has an immediate use. Throw it at the nearby window to smash the glass, then climb inside the building.
You’ll find a smartphone waiting inside.
Use the charger cable on the phone to power it up.
Smartphone Code Puzzle (1573)
Once the phone turns on, it reveals coloured number clues.
The correct combination is:
1573
Enter the code into the nearby lock to receive a key.
Use this key on the locked door to unlock the next section of the Summer Camp.
Find the Bow and Craft Arrows
After entering the larger outdoor area, your next goal is to prepare for a target puzzle.
First:
- Climb the haystack.
- Pick up the Bow.
Then craft the required arrows before continuing.
Once both are ready, equip your UV Light.
Solve the Hidden Target Puzzle
Using the UV Light reveals hidden numbers on each target.
These numbers tell you the shooting order.
Hit the targets in this sequence:
- First target
- Second target
- Third target
- Fourth target
- Fifth target
If nothing happens, double-check that every target was hit in the correct order. Missing even one target prevents the puzzle from activating.
Once solved, a large rock rises from the ground.
Reveal the Hidden Symbol Pattern
Climb onto the newly appeared rock.
Use your Magnifying Glass to uncover a hidden symbol pattern.
This pattern shows where each symbol belongs.
A small tip that makes this section much easier: take a screenshot or photo before climbing down. You’ll need to remember every symbol position shortly.
Match the Symbols with Their Colours
Nearby you’ll find a poster explaining which colour belongs to each symbol.
The correct matches are:
- Duck → Green
- Logs → Brown
- Arrow → Blue
- Fire → Red
Return to the puzzle board and place every coloured symbol in the same position shown by the hidden pattern.
Completing this puzzle unlocks another room.
Search the Bag for the Toy Knife
Inside the newly opened room, search the backpack.
You’ll receive a Toy Knife.
This is also where you’ll begin unlocking Suspect Information.
Every searchable object throughout the map reveals more evidence about different suspects, so don’t ignore bags, books or important interactive objects. Missing them can prevent you from completing the investigation later.
Collect All Six Investigation Notes
Your next objective is gathering six notes scattered around the map.
Some easy ones include:
- One beside the current area
- One near the house
- One on top of a rock
- Others around the camp
One thing worth remembering is that your inventory only holds nine items at once, so don’t worry if you have to make multiple trips.
Whenever you collect notes, head back to the reception area and place them on the investigation board.
Keep repeating this until all six notes have been submitted.
Open the Security Van
Before leaving the area, read the nearby book.
It explains that the Security Van can only be opened using the Toy Knife you collected earlier.
Use the knife on the van.
Inside you’ll find another important document needed for the investigation.
Don’t forget to grab the remaining note afterwards before returning to the reception board.
Unlock the Next Area with Code 844
Once all notes are placed, interact with the investigation board again.
Near the bottom you’ll discover another lock code.
The correct combination is:
844
Enter 844 at the locked gate to unlock the hiking trail.
Reach the Campsite
Follow the hiking path until you arrive at the campsite.
Several important objectives are waiting here.
First, pick up the Sand Bucket.
Use it to extinguish the campfire.
After the flames go out, search the fire to obtain the Burnt Note.
Read the Campsite Book
Before leaving, interact with the nearby book.
This is extremely important.
Besides providing more story details, it unlocks the remaining Suspect Information required to solve the mystery.
Many players rush through this section and later wonder why they can’t complete the investigation. If any suspect entries are still missing, go back and search any missed objects before continuing.
Decode the Burnt Note
Return to the reception area.
You’ll find a special reader designed for damaged documents.
Insert the Burnt Note.
The recovered message mentions plans involving the Abandoned House, pointing you toward your final destination.
Explore the Abandoned House
Head to the newly unlocked Abandoned House.
Open the entrance door.
Kick open the final door inside.
This completes the main investigation area and leaves only one final task.
You now need to identify the correct suspect.
Who Is the Correct Suspect?
After reviewing every suspect profile, the evidence points toward Liam.
Here’s why:
- One witness mentions Liam planning something at the abandoned house as revenge.
- Another clue says a teacher went looking for Liam and was injured.
- Other suspects mostly provide statements that support each other instead of creating suspicion.
Based on all available evidence, Liam is the correct suspect to vote for.
Selecting Liam should complete the Summer Camp investigation.

The Summer Camp map does a great job mixing detective work with puzzle-solving instead of simply hiding keys everywhere. The biggest thing to remember is that collecting every piece of suspect information is just as important as solving the puzzles themselves. If you skip books, searchable bags, or notes, the investigation won’t properly conclude even if you’ve reached the final area.
Once you know where each clue is located, the entire map becomes much easier to complete, and you’ll be able to finish the case without backtracking for missed evidence.
