Exploding Pigeon by Exploding Kittens – Fast-Paced Family Party Game (Ages 7+)

Exploding Pigeon: a fast, chaotic party game for everyone

Exploding Pigeon from Exploding Kittens brings a burst of quick-thinking fun to family game nights, gatherings with friends, or classroom prank-free play. The goal is simple: shake the Pigeon to reveal a challenge, then act, draw, or outwit your teammates before the timer buzzer stops the round. The energy is high, the laughs are loud, and the pace keeps players on their toes as you pass the Pigeon along in a race to complete as many challenges as possible. It’s a light, social experience designed to spark conversation and shared moments, without promising specific outcomes for any given group.

How the game plays in real life

Players split into teams and race against the clock. Each reveal can lead to a drawing task, a quick mime, or a rapid round of rock-paper-scissors. The Pigeon is passed before the timer runs out, so anticipation and quick thinking drive the fun. The format is intentionally approachable: learn the flow in minutes, play a full round in about 10 minutes, and jump into another round with the same or different teammates.

What’s included in the box

• Pigeon Shaker with built-in timer for fast rounds
• 75 Action Cards that spark a wide variety of challenges
• Dry Erase Marker for drawing tasks and quick clues
• Simple, repeatable setup that accommodates mixed-age groups
