Netflix Unveils Minigolf Party Game Set in Stranger Things, Squid Game and Bridgerton

The TV-only title turns players’ phones into controllers to drive living-room multiplayer play and boost engagement with Netflix’s top franchises.

Overview

  • Netflix announced on Thursday, July 16, that Netflix Minigolf will launch on July 28 and include more than 60 levels across Stranger Things, Squid Game and Bridgerton.
  • The game was made by Next Games, the Finland studio Netflix acquired in 2022, and follows recent Netflix TV releases such as FIFA World Cup – Launch Edition and Unhinged.
  • Play is built for couch co-op: up to four people compete on the same TV while using their phones as controllers that connect via a QR code.
  • Gameplay centers on accessible, chaotic mechanics including a collectible “Pranks” system that lets players sabotage opponents so the lowest score does not always win.
  • Netflix Minigolf will be free to Netflix subscribers on compatible TVs but will roll out only in a set list of countries at launch with more territories to be added over time.
