Facebook has included a secret soccer game in the latest update to its Messenger app to celebrate Euro 2016 and Copa America.
To play the game, called "Keepy Up", update the iOS Messenger app and send a friend a soccer ball emoji, then tap the emoji in the chat thread to launch the game, the aim of which is to keep the ball in the air.
The game can be started again using the same emoji in the same thread, and high scores are posted in the chat window.
Facebook's previous secret game was basketball-themed to celebrated March Madness and the new NBA season. The game proved a bit hit with users, having since been played over 1 billion times, according to the company.
Earlier this month, Facebook also added 1,500 new emojis to Messenger in order to cater for the diversity of its user base.
Facebook Messenger is a free download for iPhone and iPad on the App Store. [Direct link]

Generally Facebook only posts generic update notes so this is really a callout.
One Facebook group message later, and we're all trying to beat each other's high score. Goodbye office productivity.
