Available exclusively for Netflix members. Bring the catnip. Draw as many cards as you can, and do your best to dodge — or defuse — fatal felines. Or else, boom goes the dynamite! In this multiplayer, kitty-powered game of chance, players draw cards — until someone draws an exploding kitten and blows up. Then that player is out unless they have a defuse card. Defuse cards allow players to neutralize furry foes with laser pointers, belly rubs, catnip sandwiches or other diversions. All of the other cards in the deck can be used strategically to move, mitigate or avoid. Featuring original art by The Oatmeal.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CineGame holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exploding Kittens NETFLIX has 208 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of CineGame's written reviews are positive against 21% of Exploding Kittens NETFLIX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CineGame ships an update every 3 months, Exploding Kittens NETFLIX every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
