Kanye Zone is a browser game developed by Otter Spice Productions. It was released on March 9, 2012, and involves the player controlling a bumper in order to prevent an image of American musician Kanye West's head from entering a circle of increasing size, referred to as his "zone". The game incorporates sound clips from West's song "Niggas in Paris", and its premise is a parody of the song's lyrics.

Created by roommates Michael Frederickson and Stephen Barlow and inspired by 1980s video games, Kanye Zone received considerable media attention: Frederickson was interviewed by MTV, and several other news outlets reported on the game, some praising its simplicity and addictiveness. In May 2013, a follow-up game, titled Pitbull Party and based on the rapper Pitbull, was released.
