Mouse Trap Emoji Kitchen
The mouse trap is the least likely complete entry in Emoji Kitchen. It is an obscure emoji, added to Unicode in 2020, that nobody would predict Google prioritising. Yet it mixes with all 619 supported emoji, it got there in only thirteen releases, and 176 of those pairings arrived in the most recent one. Very few emoji are both complete and still receiving batches that size.
Every Mouse Trap mashup, and the day Google shipped it
Google added Mouse Trap to Emoji Kitchen on 18 April 2023, starting with 218 combinations. It now mixes with 619 emojis, built up over 13 separate releases. The most recent, on 2 February 2026, added 176.

Dates read from the Emoji Kitchen sticker assets Google serves through Gboard, which stamp each combination with the release that introduced it.
Complete coverage in thirteen releases
Eye took 29 releases to reach 619. Fire took 30. The mouse trap did it in thirteen, starting from a 218-pairing debut on 18 April 2023 and finishing with a 176-sticker release in February 2026. That is the fastest route to complete coverage among the emoji people actually search for, and it is a reminder that Emoji Kitchen's priorities are not driven by how popular the base emoji is on its own.
The obvious pairings are the good ones
Cheese and mouse are the two that do what you expect, and they are genuinely funny rather than merely complete. Skull turns the whole thing darker in a way that lands. Beyond those three the mouse trap behaves like most object emoji: the snap bar and the base give the artwork a frame, so partners tend to sit inside it cleanly. Since every combination resolves, there is no wrong guess here, which is not something you can say about most emoji.
