Emoji Kitchen 2.0 is here — a major update that turns the site from an emoji reference into a full playground. We added arcade games with leaderboards, a free online emoji keyboard, a personal favorites collection, emoji adoption, a redesigned emoji hub, and a pile of polish under the hood. Everything is still free, fast, and playable in your browser.

🎮 Emoji Games
The biggest addition in 2.0 is a whole games hub — eight free mini-games, each with its own leaderboard, fullscreen mode, and share bar so you can challenge friends.
💎 Emoji Treasures
Emoji Treasures is our match-3 arcade game. Swap adjacent emojis on a 10×10 board to line up three or more. Chain combos before a two-minute timer runs out and climb the score leaderboard.
- Power-ups — match 5 in a row to spawn a 💣 bomb (clears a 3×3 area); match 6+ for a ✨ blast (clears a full row and column).
- ⏰ Time gems — special tiles appear on the board; swap or blast them to earn +5 seconds.
- Levels — every 1,000 points levels you up for score bonuses and faster timer drain.
- Polish — smooth swap animations, particle bursts, sound effects, and an automatic reshuffle when no moves remain.
🧱 Emoji Stack
Emoji Stack is a falling-block arcade game in emoji form. Stack pieces, clear full rows, and chase a high score. Use arrow keys to move and rotate, and Space to hard-drop.
Quiz games
Six timed quiz games test different emoji skills. Each round gives you 15 seconds to answer; build streaks, beat your personal best, and compete on the global leaderboard:
- Guess the Emoji — name the emoji from its character
- Guess the Flag — identify the country from its flag emoji
- Guess the Movie — decode emoji clues into movies and cartoons
- Guess the Brand — name brands from emoji hints
- Guess the Combo — guess the Emoji Kitchen combo from two emojis
- Guess the Phrase — turn emoji clues into idioms and everyday phrases
All games support keyboard shortcuts for answers, fullscreen play, and a share bar to send your score to friends.
⌨️ Emoji Keyboard tool
The new Emoji Keyboard is a free online emoji picker for when your device does not have a convenient built-in picker — or when you want a bigger, searchable layout.
Type or tap emojis into a compose area, then copy the whole message in one click. Recent emojis are remembered during your session, and the picker uses native emoji characters so your text works everywhere.
❤️ My Favorites
My Favorites lets you build a personal emoji collection. Tap the heart on any emoji page to save it — favorites are stored in your browser, so they persist between visits without an account.
Switch between a compact grid and a grouped-by-category view, copy any saved emoji with one click, and remove items you no longer need.
🫶 Adopt an Emoji
Love a specific emoji? With Adopt an Emoji you can sponsor it on Emoji Kitchen. Pick a tier, choose your emoji, and get public recognition on its dedicated page — a fun way to support the project and show off your favorite character.
Emoji hub improvements
2.0 also refreshes how you browse emojis across the site:
- Redesigned emoji layout — cleaner category pages with sidebar navigation, mobile-friendly menus, and improved filtering.
- Most Popular — see trending emojis at a glance.
- Animated emoji carousel — preview Noto animated emoji on supported pages.
- Share & stats — emoji detail pages include share popovers and usage charts where data is available.
- Better navigation — games, tools, favorites, and the emoji keyboard are linked from the header and footer so you can reach them from anywhere.
