Instagram has quietly launched a mini-game within its direct messaging (DM) service. The secret emoji game is accessible via DM and provides users with a quick diversion while waiting for a response.
How to play the Instagram emoji game?
The gameplay is simple but quite fun. To start a game, you have to select any emoji from the keyboard. Then you have to send it to the chat, either with a friend or with an AI assistant. When you tap on the emoji, it will start jumping on the screen.
You must try to stop the jumping emoji before it passes under the screen. You can stop the emoji with the help of the slider that will appear at the bottom of the chat and earn points. The game will end if the emoji manages to escape.
As the round progresses, the emoji will get faster and harder to catch. You can keep track of your scores, so you can challenge yourself to improve high scores over time.
The mini-game concept is reminiscent of the “Dinosaur game” in the Chrome browser. This mini-game, which can be played in the absence of the internet, promises Chrome users a short burst of fun.
This feature, confirmed by an Instagram spokesperson, will allow users to use Instagram in a more fun way while connecting with friends. The game of tapping hidden emojis seems to be quite successful to pass the time in conversations on the platform.
