Facebook Messenger Basketball Game Revealed, And Here's How To Play It

Facebook's revealed yet another cheekily hidden game in its Messenger app.

This time, it's a clever swipe-to-shoot basketball match.

And here's how to play it:

Step 1:

Update your Messenger app via the App Store or Google Play.

Step 2:

Open the app and send the 🏀 emoji to a friend, and then tap it.

Step 3:

Enter the game and begin swiping to shoot the hoop.

Step 4:

Try not to take the judgement emojis personally when you miss a shot.

This may be tricky, as Messenger throws some serious shade.

Once you've swiped a top score, your friend gets an update.

And yes, this writer is acutely aware 6 points is a terrible score.

In case you missed it, a previous update of Messenger included a super cool game of chess.
