Surprise face: Emoji Game has joined a handful of other puzzle games on Apple News+, a subscription service featuring access to different newspapers and magazines. But membership also offers a handful of games to play on iOS, such as Crossword Mini and Sudoku.
Apple announced yesterday that Emoji Game is now available for Apple News+ subscribers in the US and Canada. So far, the puzzle title only supports English as players use emoji to finish phrases with short clues. For example, there is a mystery two-word phrase with “departure” as the clue (which can be expanded, though it costs a move). The solution requires dragging over the sunrise and clock emoji for “early,” followed by car and keys emoji for “start.” These emoji also have to be selected from a larger group, too.
“Emoji Game is the perfect addition to the Apple News+ suite of word and number puzzles, turning the emoji we use every day into a brainteaser that’s approachable and fun,” said Apple News editor-in-chief Lauren Kern.
