TikTok has discreetly introduced a hidden emoji game accessible through your DMs. The game’s objective is straightforward: bounce as high as possible by jumping on alligators using your finger. Steer clear of the skeleton alligators, and watch out — broken alligators vanish after just one landing, so you must swiftly jump to the one above.

If you direct your jump toward a floating emoji, you’ll receive a speed boost that aids your ascent. The same applies when you land on an alligator equipped with a propeller. If you miss landing on an alligator or land on a skeleton, it’s game over. The aim of the game is to achieve a higher bounce than your rival. While playing, you’ll see both your score and your opponent’s highest score displayed in the top-right corner.

TikTok informed TechCrunch on Tuesday that the game is globally available and can be played in both individual DMs and group chats.

To play the game, send an emoji in any chat and click on it to start. The emoji you select will be the one that floats on the screen to provide you with a boost. You can choose any emoji, but the game can only be accessed by sending a single emoji at a time.

TikTok states that this Easter egg was introduced to enhance the messaging experience and incorporate a fun competitive aspect into DMs on the platform.

With this rollout, TikTok is emulating Instagram’s strategy. Instagram launched its own hidden emoji DM game two years ago, and TikTok’s version mirrors a similar idea. In Instagram’s game, players use their finger to move a paddle to keep an emoji bouncing, with the game concluding when the emoji falls.

TikTok is not the sole social media platform trying out DM games. Meta confirmed to TechCrunch in January that Threads is looking into chat games. The company is internally testing a basketball game that allows users to virtually shoot hoops by swiping their finger.
