Three months ago Snapchat launched a new social AR gaming feature calledĀ SnappablesĀ ā€” multiplayer games that can be controlled with facial expressions. Now Facebook is serving up its own take on the idea (minus the catchy name) with AR games in Messenger that let you challenge your friends over video chat
Facebook is kicking off itsĀ AR game debutĀ with a duo of games at launch:Ā 
Today weā€™re excited to make connecting with your friends in video chat even more fun ā€“ and competitive! ā€“ with multiplayer video chat AR games. You can play with up to six people at a time, making the gaming experience much more interactive and social.
With this feature starting to roll out today, you can challenge your friends around the world to two games: see who can hold a serious face the longest with ā€œDonā€™t Smileā€, or see who can better navigate their spaceship with ā€œAsteroids Attackā€.
After ā€œDonā€™t Smileā€ and ā€œAsteroids Attackā€, Messenger plans to add ā€œBeach Bumpā€ and ā€œKitten Krazeā€ to the mix ā€” games that will see players passing around a virtual beach ball and matching cats together in some competitive way.
