JAKARTA Instagram, a platform under Meta, adds a unique game in the Direct Messenger feature. This game can be accessed by users when they send emojis to other users.

This game is similar to the digital version of the ping-pong game. The emoji used will reflect on the screen and the emoji may not fall. Users don't need to update their app to try this feature.

First, open the Direct Messenger (DM) feature, then select the account you want to send a message to. After that, input the emoji you want in the typing and sending the emoji column. You can also click directly on the emoji that has been sent.

Next, tap on the emoji once and the game will start immediately. This game is running fast so you have to focus on where the emoji is after the emoji is clicked.

At the bottom of the screen, you will see a small black line. This line should be shifted following the reflection direction of the emoji. Make sure that the emoji used bounces off the black line you move on.

If the emoji doesn't hit the black line, you'll see a Game Over sign that shows you lost. If you want to try the game again, you just need to click on the emoji.

There are several emojis that can be used and appear to be very suitable for this game. Some of these emojis are egg emojis, caterpillars, and pizzas. These three emojis will display animations when played.

Eggs will turn into a baby chicken hatching, caterpillars will turn into butterflys when played, and pizza will provide animation of the pizza slice that falls every time the emoji hits the black line.
