In mark of respect to the UEFA Euro 2016 championship, Facebook has introduced a new football game that is soccer. It is just like an Easter egg hidden inside its Messenger app. To start the game users need to enter the football emoji called KeepyUp.
You have to run the latest version of Facebook Messenger for Android or iOS to activate the game. Then, in any conversation inside the Facebook Messenger app, just send the football emoji. After sending it, tap on the emoji and the Messenger opens the game up automatically. The challenge is that the player will not allow the football to touch the ground. The next time you use the emoji and want to replay, you will find that the game has kept your best score intact. The crossing point is simple, with the ball bouncing about the white screen, more forcefully as the level advances. Also users have the freedom of exiting the game and going back to their conversation whenever they feel like doing so. However they do not enjoy the option of pausing the game and going back to chatting, they have to compulsorily end the game to continue their chatting.
In March a similar trick was done by Facebook in their Messenger Basketball game. You could activate the game in the same manner but for starting it you needed the the basketball emoji. It is claimed by Facebook that the game had received 300 million plays in just one week. Facebook Messenger app now supports SMS messaging bringing voice chats, emojis, and location sharing to SMS messaging. Recently the chat service had introduced 1,500 new emojis into the app. It also included several emojis dedicated to women in different roles.
