Play the most-funded game in Kickstarter history anywhere with the Exploding Kittens® Official mobile game!

The mobile version of the game is available now, including the Party Pack, Betrayal, Streaking Kittens, and the all new Barking Kittens expansion! Play with friends or strangers in online play, challenge the AI, or play offline with friends face-to-face!

In this highly-strategic, kitty-powered card game, players draw cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten, at which point they are out of t​he game -- unless that player has a Defuse card, which can defuse the Kitten using things like laser pointers, belly rubs and catnip sandwiches. All of the other cards in the deck are used to move, mitigate or avoid the Exploding Kittens.

KEY FEATURES:

- Exploding Kittens is a multiplayer card game for people who are into kittens and explosions and laser beams and sometimes goats.

- Play with 2 to 5 players across multiple phones in the same room, or online with friends or strangers

- Featuring original art by The Oatmeal

- New cards exclusive to the digital version of Exploding Kittens - Digital versions of the hit expansions, including Streaking and Barking Kittens, as well as digital exclusive Betrayal and Party decks

- The digital version of the most backed game in Kickstarter history

Creat​ed by Elan Lee (Xbox, ARGs), Matthew Inman (The Oatmeal), and Shane Small (Xbox, Marvel).

Fun game to play with friends

I got this because a friend suggested it and it’s a pretty entertaining game

Fun to Play
     
by ~featherlight~ · March 20, 2026

I got this app to play with friends and family around the globe. I love the card game, so I immediately turned to this. The app version is similar to the card game, but has different cards and way less cards in the deck. I love the sound effects and funny looking cards and characters. It’s great that you can play with strangers, a bot, or friends, but it would be better with a way to add bots to a private game because I usually play with only one friend, and it would be more fun with a way to play with friends and make it 5 people. It would also be better if the other decks and avatar packs didn’t cost money.

From kid FYI I think this game so much fun to play but when I did online mode it took like 15 minutes

IAP despite premium purchase
     
by Lester K Chaykin · December 20, 2024

Why must I make further in app purchases despite paying for the game itself?

Weird bug with iPad
     
by TheMiningMiner27 · December 31, 2024

Sometimes, when I open up the game, it bugs out and makes it so I can’t use the expansion decks. It also glitches out the avatar selection and removes all of the purchasable avatars except for the god one, which is now called Mike. Exiting and Reentering it causes Blue to duplicate each time. Mike is also unable to be selected, and just plays the sounds. Restoring purchase also doesn’t work properly.

$5 to pay for a bunch of microtransactions
     
by Accept my name apple! · January 3, 2025

Unbelievable I paid 5 dollars just to get 1 deck and a bunch of options to spend more money. I will be asking for a refund.
