Ninja Kiwi Ltd.,[fn 1] also known as Ninja Kiwi Games and sometimes abbreviated NK, is a software company based in Auckland, New Zealand. It was founded in 2006 under the name Kaiparasoft by brothers Chris Harris and Stephen Harris and originally focused on web browser games before pivoting to PC games and mobile games in the 2010s. It is the publisher of most Bloons video games and many spinoffs such as the Bloons TD series. Ninja Kiwi Ltd. is distinct from and owns Ninja Kiwi Europe (formerly Digital Goldfish).
In March 2021,[1] Ninja Kiwi announced a merge between its subsidiaries and Swedish entertainment company Modern Times Group. This was completed on 1 June 2021.[2]
Since late 2024, games created by the New Zealand division are funded by NZ on Air via the New Zealand Game Development Sector Rebate.

Services
Ninja Kiwi website
The Ninja Kiwi website contains links to most of Ninja Kiwi's currently supported mobile and PC games. Previously, it was the host of the web-based Ninja Kiwi Account system, Clans, the Wheel of Fate, the Ninja Kiwi Blog, and the Ninja Kiwi Forums, all of which have been discontinued or are no longer supported on the website.
Ninja Kiwi Archive
The Ninja Kiwi Archive is a desktop application containing most of Ninja Kiwi's web games with support for Ninja Kiwi's web account system. It was released in 2020 as a way of preserving Ninja Kiwi's web game portal before the discontinuation of the Adobe Flash Player at the end of 2020 and the removal of the web account system from Ninja Kiwi's website.
Ninja Kiwi Blog
The Ninja Kiwi Blog is a self-published blog used to share news about Ninja Kiwi games and answer questions from fans. It was originally hosted on Ninja Kiwi's website before moving to Reddit.
Ninja Kiwi Downloads
Ninja Kiwi Downloads was a sister site to the main Ninja Kiwi website that hosted downloadable PC games instead of browser games,[4] such as Pack O Bloons. It ran from 2007 to 2012.

Bloons World
Bloons World was a website used to host and share custom Bloons levels. It included its own account system and forums, and some of these levels would later be packaged into the Bloons Player Packs although eventually Bloons World would be shut down.
Game Elephant
Game Elephant was a Flash game portal owned by Kaiparasoft and operated from 2007 to early 2008.[5] It hosted a mixture of Ninja Kiwi games, including Bloons, and games by other developers. In 2008, the website was converted to a redirect to Replay Racer, and later shut down entirely.
LiNK
Light interface to Ninja Kiwi,[6] or LiNK for short, is the proprietary account system created by Ninja Kiwi and used since the release of the multiplatform version of Bloons TD Battles in 2013. It supports cloud saving of game progress and friend lists, and can be linked to other services such as Steam.
