Nothing To Declare Guides Hub
Master every cozy checkpoint task from your first passenger to full-airport systems.
Welcome to the Nothing To Declare guides hub. This page is your map for learning Rogue Duck Interactive’s cozy airport security sim after the July 25, 2026 Steam launch: weigh bags, read noisy x-rays, interview quirky travelers, inspect documents, enforce changing newspaper rules, unzip luggage when something feels off, use full-game tools like cameras and Agent Cookie, earn money, and upgrade your workstation without turning the shift into chaos.
Whether you bounced in from the free demo or jumped straight into the 1.0 build (app 3894850), start with process. Smart calls pay. Mistakes cost. Chaos is always an option—but this wiki is for players who want cleaner shifts, steadier upgrades, and a sane path toward all 22 Steam achievements.
Start here
New officers should begin with How to Play Nothing To Declare for the full loop, then First Shift Tips for a practical opening-day checklist. If you are deciding whether the free demo is enough before buying, read Demo vs Full Game.
Once the desk feels familiar, add legality and launch systems: Documents & Daily Rules and Full Game Systems. Completion hunters should bookmark Achievements and keep the Shift Checklist open.

How a strong shift feels
A good Nothing To Declare shift is not about rushing every traveler. It is about collecting just enough signal before you decide. Newspapers and documents set today’s law. Weighing gives a physical clue. X-ray scanning gives a visual clue. Interviews give a social clue. Advanced tools—metal detectors, cameras, Cookie, swabs, compartment searches—confirm expensive suspicions. Searching and confiscation close the case when evidence earns the cost.
Use the Shift Checklist tool during play so you do not skip a step when the queue gets funny. Cross-check suspicious finds against Contraband & Suspicious Items, and learn traveler archetypes on Passengers. When money starts stacking, invest through Workstation Upgrades and Earning Money.

Tips that apply to every guide
Keep your eyes on the whole desk. Passports, newspaper rules, weight readouts, and x-ray layers can disagree on purpose. When two signals conflict, escalate with an interview, swab, or search instead of guessing. When every signal is clean—and today’s rules are satisfied—clear the passenger and protect your throughput.
Remember the Lost But Found universe connection: luggage is packed with familiar oddities and callbacks. Cute does not mean safe. An oddly shaped electronic can look like a joke until it is not. Treat humor as flavor, not as a clearance stamp.
Finally, protect your learning curve. Early shifts are for pattern recognition. Later shifts are for documents, cameras, Cookie, Duty-Free goals, and denser day chains. Come back to this hub whenever a mechanic feels fuzzy, then open the matching guide and practice that station for a few passengers in a row.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Where should new Nothing To Declare players start?
Read How to Play, then First Shift Tips. Use Demo vs Full Game if you are still on the free demo.
Which guides cover the full 1.0 launch systems?
Documents & Daily Rules, Full Game Systems, Achievements, plus the Updates hub for v1.0.1.
Do these guides spoil story beats?
They focus on systems and decision-making. Expect mechanic spoilers, not a full narrative walkthrough.
Is the demo enough to use these guides?
Yes for the core loop. Use the launch guides when you move into documents, cameras, Cookie, and confiscation.
Should I search every bag?
No. Searching is for conflicting signals or strong suspicion. Over-searching slows the queue and can hurt performance.
