If you’ve ever found yourself with nothing to do, this hidden game on your phone might just save you from dying of boredom, but only if you've got an iPhone (sorry Android users).
All you need to access the game is the Google app – which millions of iPhone users already have installed on their phones to make searching the internet easier than ever.
If you don’t have the Google app you can download it on the App Store for free, and if you do have it, it’s important to make sure it’s updated to the latest version.
Once you’re all set, head to the app and click Tabs in the bottom right.
You may have some tabs open already, and if you do, you’ll need to close them all and re-open the Tabs section, which should now be empty.
Faced with the blank Tabs screen, wait a few seconds and you’ll begin to see coloured shapes appear at the bottom of the screen.
Now, all you need to do is swipe up in the middle of the screen and a game of pinball will begin!
To actually play the game, just tap the bottom right or bottom left of the screen to move the flippers.
The goal of the game is to hit the coloured blocks to break them without letting the ball drop off the bottom of the screen.
A counter will track your score, and you have just three lives to use before it’s game over.
The game can even be played offline, which means if you’re stuck without internet you can still keep yourself entertained.
Now you know how to access the secret game – get out there and set your high score!
