Summer 2025 Just Got Wild
Who knew summer could be this chaotic, this hilarious—and this much fun?
Exploding Kittens, the offbeat game company that turned a card game into a global sensation, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a bold new collection of games. And these aren’t just reboots. They’re quirky, clever, and designed to take your family game night from routine to ridiculous.
If you thought cats were the only ones exploding around here, think again—because now, there’s a pigeon in the mix too.
A Whole New Spin on the Game That Started It All
Kicking things off is the newly announced Exploding Kittens: The Board Game, and let’s just say—it’s not your average board game. This version transforms the original card chaos into a fully interactive board where players flip between calm and chaos. You’ll be setting traps, flipping strategies on the fly, forming alliances (and breaking them), and basically doing whatever it takes to come out on top. It’s competitive, fast-paced, and dripping with the humor fans have loved for a decade.
This isn’t just a celebration—it’s a reinvention.
Say Hello to Pigeons, Pinkies, and Monster Dice
One of the most unexpected (and hilarious) additions to the 2025 lineup? Exploding Pigeon. It’s a fast-paced mix of charades and hot potato—only this time, you’re racing against the pigeon’s screech. The game forces you to act out silly prompts before the “explosion” happens, making it perfect for kids, families, and groups that love unpredictable fun.
Then there’s Giants Moving Tiny Furniture, where you literally have to move mini objects using just your pinkies. It’s weird. It’s wild. And it’s weirdly addictive.
Meanwhile, Monster Match brings a playful, dice-rolling twist to traditional matching games. Aimed at younger kids (ages 4 and up), it encourages focus and fast thinking in a format that grows with your child—something every parent will appreciate.
A Game That Tests How Well You Really Know People
Last but not least is What Were You Thinking?, a party game for slightly older kids (10+) that puts friendships to the test—in the most fun way possible. Can you predict how your friends or family will answer? Can you match their minds in 15 minutes or less? It’s light-hearted, laugh-inducing, and surprisingly revealing.

A Decade of Exploding Fun—and They’re Just Getting Started
Elan Lee, the Co-Creator and CEO of Exploding Kittens, reflects on their journey from a tiny Kickstarter project to an entertainment empire. With a Netflix series, mobile apps, and over 60 million games sold, the company has no plans to slow down.
“This lineup might be our most creative yet,” says Lee. “It honors our roots while pushing gameplay in new directions. It’s been ten years, and we’re just getting started.”
