What happens when you combine the best parts of mini golf with bits of pinball and Mario Kart, then add a Demogorgon or Young-hee to round things out? You get Netflix Minigolf, a chaotic take on the date-night favorite. Here, you and up to three friends can sink shots from your living room in over 60 courses based on Netflix favorites like Bridgerton, Squid Game, and Stranger Things — with no ads or in-game purchases.

How do I play Netflix Minigolf?

Playing Netflix Minigolf is super simple: After you launch the game, link your controller, and select your avatar, just press and hold on your phone screen to set your swing direction and power level. Then drag your thumb back to dial in your putt effort, and let go to let it rip.

Depending on the course, if you didn’t put enough mustard on your shot, you can aim for a speed boost that’ll give it some extra speed. Which way you’re aiming shows up onscreen too, so you don’t have to split attention between the big screen and the one in your hand when you’re lining up a shot.

Getting birdies won’t be enough to keep you at the top of the leaderboards. And while sinking a hole in one will net you bonus points, simply having the fewest strokes isn’t enough to ensure victory.

You see, Netflix Minigolf takes classic mini golf tropes like themed courses and trick holes, then adds some pandemonium into the mix. Is your friend acting a little too smug about being in first place? Knock ’em off that pedestal with a well-timed cyclone that sends their candy-colored ball askew. You can always aim directly for their ball and pick up additional points for the ensuing collision that way as well. 

If this all sounds a bit anarchic, that’s the whole point.

Here’s a handy how-to guide on setting up your phone and TV for Party Games.

What courses are in Netflix Minigolf?

Courses in Netflix Minigolf are based on your favorite Netflix originals, each with its own unique hazards. The Stranger Things courses are set in Hawkins, where Demogorgons have a tendency to pop up alongside the fairway and swat at errant balls or bellow them off your intended path, for example.
