Trick To Unlock Hidden Netflix Interactive Specials On Any Device :star:

A little-known trick has surfaced, revealing how to unlock and watch Netflix’s interactive specials on any browser-based device, including desktops—even though Netflix officially restricts them to apps and smart TVs. Here’s how it works:

:light_bulb: The Trick
A specific type of Netflix content—interactive specials like Bandersnatch, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend, and You vs. Wild—is typically blocked on desktop browsers. But users have discovered that these interactives can be accessed and watched via a direct link to the Netflix media viewer, bypassing the platform’s normal UI restrictions.

:hammer_and_wrench: How to Use It

  1. Copy one of these direct links to start an interactive episode directly:
  • Netflix – Bandersnatch
  • Netflix – You vs. Wild
  • Netflix – Minecraft: Story Mode
  • Netflix – Kimmy vs. the Reverend
  1. Paste it into your browser’s address bar while logged into Netflix.
    These links open directly to the interactive title, even if your browser normally shows a “not available” message when browsing.
  2. Start watching—you’ll be able to make choices and interact just like on supported devices.

:brain: Why It Works
The Netflix frontend blocks access to interactives on desktop browsers via the UI, but the backend doesn’t restrict playback if you directly navigate to the media viewer with a valid link. Essentially, you’re skipping Netflix’s “gatekeeping” layer and jumping into the content.

:locked: Caveats

  • Some browsers may still be partially incompatible—Chrome and Edge work best.
  • You must be logged into an active Netflix account to view the content.
  • This method does not bypass regional availability restrictions.

:rocket: Bonus Tip
You can extract the watch link for any interactive title by:

  • Searching for the title on a supported device.
  • Starting playback.
  • Going to Account > Viewing Activity, where the direct episode link can be retrieved.

This trick provides a new level of access for desktop users to enjoy Netflix’s premium interactive content without being forced onto apps or TVs.

ENJOY & HAPPY LEARNING! :heart:
