Facebook always seems to hide little things for us, only for one person to figure it out and then the whole Internet turns crazy for it.

And the latest secret game is no different. But, if you're worrying about lengthy cheat codes or hidden entries, fear not because this basketball game is pretty easy to get into.

Once Facebook has ensured you've downloaded their latest version of Messenger, all you need to do is send a basketball emoji to a friend.

Yep, it's that easy – but be warned, it can become addictive.

Soon we'll all be on Messenger just to play games and not to…erm, talk to our friends. 

Social media strikes again.
