Overview
- TikTok, which disclosed Tuesday it had quietly added the game, says it works in one-on-one chats and group DMs worldwide.
- You start it by sending a single emoji in a chat and tapping that emoji to launch the game.
- Players bounce upward across alligator platforms, avoid skeleton or broken platforms, and use floating emoji or propeller boosts for speed.
- Scores show during play so friends can compete for a higher climb inside the same DM thread.
- The launch follows Instagram’s earlier hidden DM game and points to a broader shift toward quick chat games that keep people in the app.
