Instagram has quietly added a secret emoji game that you can access in your DMs. To access the hidden game, all you have to do is open up a DM chat, send an emoji, and then click on it. The game saves your high score, so you can come back to it at any time to try to beat your previous high score. Your high score is saved across your DMs, so you don’t have to go back to the first emoji that you sent when activating the game. An Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch in an email that the company is always working on new ways to make “Instagram feel more fun,” which is why it rolled out the game.
