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.
Last year, Apple debuted Quartiles on Apple News+, a spelling game where players create words by combining two- to four-letter tiles. Emoji Game follows in the footsteps of Quartiles (as well as Crossword Mini) in offering new daily puzzles to solve.
Apple News+ costs $13 monthly and also is bundled with Apple One Premier, which costs $38 per month. The latter includes family sharing and five other subscriptions, like Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade.
Meanwhile, Apple will launch a new all-in-one games app later this year called Apple Games. This is aimed at streamlining all of your games, whether purchased or accessible from an Apple Arcade subscription. In fact, Apple says that Emoji Game will be found in Apple Games as well when the app arrives this fall.
