You know how in the old days of Gameboys and Mario World and Zelda, there was nothing better than finding a cheat that would let you access a secret level?
Well it turns out that those days aren't over as some canny users have discovered that Facebook Messenger now features a secret game hidden inside it that you can only access if you know the password.
What's even better is that we're going to tell you exactly how to unlock it. Just don't say we never give you anything, ok?
Thankfully for those of us who are totally tech illiterate, there's not much nerding out needed to get yourself in to play it and all you'll need to do is update to the latest version of Messenger. Once that's all done, launch it and drop a basketball emoji into a message to a friend.
Press enter, tap the emoji and VOILA, the game will launch.
Now all you have to do is master netting as many basketballs in a row as you can and you're pretty much halfway to living your dream life as 2016's answer Nathan Scott off of One Tree Hill.
Life goals ACHIEVED.
Let us know how you get on with this one with a tweet of your top scores over @MTVUK way, would ya?
