FAQs

What is Exploding Pigeon?

Exploding Pigeon is a fast-paced party game where players complete drawing, miming, or rock-paper-scissors challenges before the timer runs out, while passing the 'Pigeon' to avoid being caught with it.

What age is this game recommended for?

The game is recommended for players aged 7 years and up.

How many players can play Exploding Pigeon?

The game can be played with a minimum of 2 players and is suitable for larger groups.

Does the Pigeon Shaker require batteries?

No, the Pigeon Shaker has a mechanical timer and does not require batteries.

What components are included in the game?

The game includes one Pigeon Shaker with a built-in timer, 75 Action Cards, and one Dry Erase Maker.

Can I use my own markers?

Yes, you can use any standard dry erase marker if the included one runs out or is unavailable.

Is this game similar to Exploding Kittens?

Exploding Pigeon is from the creators of Exploding Kittens, but it features different gameplay mechanics focusing on active challenges and a timed passing element rather than card-based elimination.

Troubleshooting

Timer not working

Ensure the Pigeon Shaker is properly closed. If the timer mechanism seems stuck, gently shake the device. As this is a mechanical timer, avoid forcing any parts.

Dry Erase Maker not writing clearly

Wipe the tip of the maker with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. If the ink is depleted, the maker may need to be replaced. You can use any standard dry erase marker as a substitute.

Difficulty understanding challenges

Read the Action Card aloud clearly. If a challenge is particularly ambiguous, players can agree on a common interpretation before starting the round, or agree to re-draw a card if too unclear.

Game feels too fast or stressful

Players can agree to add a few extra seconds to the timer for their specific game session, especially when playing with younger children or those new to the game.
