You may not know it, but it is possible to access a hidden game from Instagram direct messages. The manipulation is simple, but you have to know it: just send an emoji to the contact of your choice. We’ll explain how it works.
Have you been waiting for a response from your contact on Instagram for hours, but they are reluctant to respond to you? Now there’s a way to pass the time. But be careful, the social network is not going to offer it to you on a silver platter, you will have to search a little bit. Fortunately, the trick is in this article.
In fact, you just need to send a simple emoji to your recipient to access the game. Well almost: you will still have to press it with a single press to launch it. Once done, you will be redirected to a window with a screen bar. Your goal: bounce the emoji as many times as possible to get the best score.

Here is a quick summary of the steps to take to launch the hidden Instagram game:
- Open Instagram on your smartphone
- See you in private messages
- Open the conversation of your choice
- Send an emoji (this works with any emoji)
- Tap the emoji
- Get the best score possible
The higher your score, the faster the emoji will move across your screen. Note that your best score will be saved by the app, so you can come back at any time to try to surpass it. Finally, the person on the other end of the conversation won’t be notified when you launch the game, like Messenger does. The game appears to be available on the Android and iOS versions of Instagram.
Lately, Instagram is making a lot of effort to improve its messaging. This week, the social network notably introduced the possibility of modifying its messages after sending, a feature long awaited by users. It is not impossible that this new interest is linked to the abandonment of the messaging project linked to that of Messenger.
