The game can be found in the Group Effects section of your Instagram or Messenger app.
Meta said: “To play Heads Up!, head to your Instagram or Messenger app, start a video call, tap the smiley face to open the effects tray and select Group Effects.
“We’ll be activating more card packs with Ellen in 2022, so there will be lots more Heads Up! competition to come!”
