Instagram emoji game is quietly adding a hidden emoji game users can play in their DMs. The aim of the game is straight forward, using your finger to drag the paddle located at the left-hand side of your screen in order to ensure that your emoji is floating and constantly bouncing. When you lose your emoji you’re done. This game is similar to older games that used to be pre-installed on phones way back when similar to Breakout and Pong.
For access to the secret game all you need do is launch the DM chat, and send an emoji, and hit the. Then, you’ll be brought to a screen that is yellow that includes a paddle as well as any emoji that you wish to choose. Emojis move more quickly when the game gets more challenging and the background’s color becomes more dark.
In my tests I have discovered you are able to choose any kind of emoji however, you are able to enter the game using one emoticon. It saves your highest score so that you may revisit anytime in order to attempt to beat the previous score. The score you have set is stored throughout your DMs and you won’t need to go back to the initial message you made in order to play the game. It is also possible to activate the game by clicking the emoji of someone else who has sent to an DM.
It’s important to note that the person who is on the chat will not know exactly what you’re up to, therefore it’s a good idea to inform them of the reason you’re making them send an unrelated emoji.
While the game runs on both iOS as well as Android however, not all users have access. Tests revealed that some players on TechCrunch could access the game, while others were not.
A spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch via email that Instagram emoji game is constantly looking for methods to help “Instagram feel more fun,” that’s why they introduced this game. But, Instagram emoji game didn’t reveal any specifics about its launch date.
