Facebook has launched a new Messenger game to celebrate Euro 2016 and Copa America. The aim of the secret soccer sim is to prevent the ball from falling to the ground while achieving your best possible score. Here’s how to play it.
Facebook’s secret Messenger games have been a huge success so far. According to David Marcus, head of the Messenger service, the basketball game that was introduced for March Madness and the NBA season has now been played over 1 billion times.
Will the soccer game be an even bigger success? It’s possible with your help. Here’s how to play it.
- Update to the latest version of Messenger
- Pick a friend to play with and send them the soccer ball emoji
- Tap the emoji within the chat window once it has been sent
- Tap the ball to keep it in the air!
The short video below also demonstrates this process.
Once the soccer ball emoji is within your chat, you can tap it as many times as you like to start the game — you don’t need to keep sending it each time. You’ll also notice that when you’re done playing, your high score is posted within the conversation.
