In Southeastern Michigan it was "duck, duck, goose."
In Northern Michigan, where hunting is more prevalent, I am given to understand it is "duck, duck, dinner."
And then they pluck and eat some poor kid who can't run fast.
Tell me more good stuff about me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My fave new version (thanks, wikipedia!) is Duck, Duck, Splash - in which the "goose" gets a bucket of water dumped on him/her. Awesome!

Fortunately, the loonacy stops at the Minnesota-Wisconsin state border.
For those not accustomed to Minnesota-Wisconsin feuding, Sail's comment will make more sense if you remember that the Minnesota state bird is the Loon.

Our wings are not tired.
We had no duck, duck, goose, or dog/hog piles in my youth (long, long ago) in upstate New York.

All of this pales in the face of the great question:
Is it kitty-corner or katty-corner?

duck, duck, goose
(Kindergarten in south Jersey - most of elementary school in Balt.)
I can't recall the use of either dogpile or hogpile when I was a child.

I'm flashing on the Treehouse of Horror episode where Principal Skinner and the lunchlady turn the kids into food. "You could say there's a little Utter in all of us!"
Is it kitty-corner or katty-corner?
Catty-corner.
And Pussy Galore.

This may explain things. One of the pre-60s guys grew up in NYC and another grew up in Oakland, CA. Maybe it was a regional game at that time?
Kitty-corner, of course cause it's SUGAR!!
