Bored? Go play this hidden game in your Instagram DMs

Instagram has quietly added a fun secret emoji game that you can access in your DMs to make the app "feel more fun."

The goal of the game is simple: use your finger to move the paddle at the bottom of your screen to keep your emoji afloat and continuously bouncing. 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. It’s worth mentioning that the other person in the chat won’t know what you’re doing, so you may want to fill them in on why you’re sending them a random emoji.
