You Can Now Play MiniGames On TikTok. Here's How It Works
There are 11 currently available in Malaysia.
Whether you're an avid consumer of short-form video content or not, you've definitely heard of TikTok
Users can now 'add a game' into their TikTok videos by linking the game directly to their posts when uploading their content.
To play, users must interact with a game already linked with a TikTok post, whether it's someone else's or your own.

And that's it! People who come across your video on their FYP (for you page) will be able to play the game you've attached to your video. Even you can play it yourself.
