Facebook is keeping the ball in the game with a mysterious Easter Egg that unlocks a game of keepie-uppie in Facebook Messenger
It’s the season of soccer and whether you are following Euro 2016 or are enjoying Copa América, Facebook Messenger is keeping the ball in the game with a mysterious Easter Egg that unlocks a game of keepie-uppie.
The Easter Egg can be discovered on iOS or Android devices by starting a group or private conversation and sending the football emoji to the group or friend and then tapping it.
What follows is an unadulterated, fascinatingly addictive game of keepie-uppie that will eat up time but you have to keep playing.
You have to keep the ball in the air by constantly jabbing at it, Flappie Bird-style. This writer’s personal best is 4.
It is the latest Easter Egg game to make its appearance in Facebook Messenger.
Recent games that appeared in this vein include a chess game that can be activated by typing @fbchess play and then telling @fbchess which piece you want to move and to which square on the grid.
Another game more similar to the football one was a basketball game that you activate by sending a friend or group a basketball emoji.
Enjoy!
