Exploding Kittens joins Mojo Pitch 2026

Game designers will be able to pitch concepts to Exploding Kittens at this year’s Mojo Pitch.

Forming part of Mojo Nation’s annual Play Creators Festival, the live Mojo Pitch event will take place on Thursday, June 25th 2026 at London’s Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Exploding Kittens will also be involved in the Virtual Mojo Pitch event, taking place digitally across July 14th, 15th and 16th 2026.

Both the live and virtual events will welcome inventors, invention studios and design agencies as they pitch new toy and game concepts to a range of companies, each on the lookout for new products.

“Exploding Kittens is so excited to be making our first trip across the pond for Mojo Pitch,” said Ian Clayman, Senior Game Designer at Exploding Kittens.

“As a company that takes joy in bringing people together, we’re really looking forward to meeting this community of smart, funny, and visionary inventors. We’re always on the hunt for the next big idea, and we just know we’re going to see some amazing new concepts at this event.

“The Play Creators Festival is a tremendous celebration of this industry and the people who make it a reality, and we hope to meet as many of you as we can to learn, play, and laugh together. We can’t wait to catch up with old friends and make ones as we build what the next 10 years of Exploding Kittens looks like together!
