SynchA Synch game
Pondor
Raise ducks and geese on Discord.
Hatch a bird, look after it, dress it up and send it into turn-based fights for Breadcrumbs. Breed rare chicks, build a pond of your own, and take it to every server you're in.
Free, and made and run by Synch. Already in a server with Pondor? Type /start.
It starts with an egg
Duck or goose?
Your first bird is free. Pick a duck or a goose, give it a name, and it comes with a starter gift: 250 Breadcrumbs, ten pieces of bread and some peas.
- Ducks are nimble. They dodge, and their pecks can't be dodged back.
- Geese are tough and hit hard. They'll snap at you until they decide you're alright.
- Keep up to six birds. Rarer breeds hatch from eggs in the shop, or from breeding.
It's a duck! Nimble, and hard to hit.
Look after them
They remember how you treat them
Birds get hungry, thirsty and grubby. Feed them, clean them, play with them and give them a pet, and they level up and grow fond of you. Have a go.
- Three daily quests, plus training and expeditions to the woods and the lake
- A well-kept bird earns a little XP even while you're away
- Going on holiday? Put your pond on holiday too
Puddles · Pekin duck
Level 3
Puddles is peckish.
Fight, round by round
Challenge anyone. Winner takes the pot.
Attack, defend, use a special move or surrender. The challenged bird goes first, and every breed and mutation changes how a bird fights.

Friendly fights, or fights with Breadcrumbs on the line. Each server decides whether fights are allowed.
Roles and raids
Eight jobs, six birds. Choose wisely.
Give your birds roles, then raid other ponds for crumbs, or hold the line when they raid yours.
Raiding
- Scout Looks before you leap, and gives your Attacker +10%.
- Attacker Leads every raid. No Attacker, no raid.
- Trickster Often distracts their Defender.
Defending
- Defender Fights raiders at the edge. No Defender? Raiders walk straight in.
- Protector Raiders who get in take half as much.
- Guard Keeps watch, so your Defender is tougher.
Support
- Forager Brings home extra crumbs every day.
- Medic Gets everyone's energy back after a fight.
Crumbs in your vault are safe from raids, and players and servers can switch raids off.
Breeding, genes and the Lab
Some things skip a generation
Breed two of your birds for a chance at something rarer. Chicks can carry hidden genes that only show up later, so the Lab lets you DNA-test a bird and simulate a pairing before you commit.
- Over 20 mutations, from Pastel to Cosmic
- A family tree for every bird
- Some mutations can't be bred at all. You'll have to work out how to get them.
Make the pond yours
Your pond, your weather
Pick the sky, the water, the ground and a backdrop. Add trees, lanterns, a rowboat or a frog or two, then arrange it all in 3D. Dress your birds in hats, scarves and the occasional monocle.
- Themed bundles, cheaper than buying each piece
- Show your pond off in chat as a postcard
- Visitors on or off. Your pond, your choice.
Collect them all
Breeds and cosmetics
Common breeds hatch from the shop's eggs. The rare ones take luck, or careful breeding.
Discord and the web
Chat in Discord. Dig deeper on the web.
Everything social stays in Discord: fights, raids, visits and showing off. The web game at pond.synchsupport.org is where you see your pond in 3D, run the Lab, plan breeding and redecorate. There's no chat on the web.
- Sign in with Discord. No new password.
- The same pond everywhere, kept in sync
- Or open the 3D pond as a Discord Activity
For server owners
Your server, your rules
One settings panel
/admin-config turns fights, raids and leaderboards on or off and picks the channels Pondor posts in.
A shared pond, your own board
Players keep one pond across every server, and each server gets its own leaderboard.
Fair by design
Breadcrumbs can never be bought with real money, and they can't be sold or swapped for it. No pay-to-win.
Official support server
Get help in the Pondor server
Pondor has its own Discord server. Go there for help with the game, to report a bug, for news about updates, or just to play with other people.
