Once the Flappy Bird game has been added to the Snapchat filter section, it will be available for 24 hours. After this time, the game will disappear from that section and you will have to scan the code again to re-enable it. To play Flappy Bird from Snapchat, all you have to do is access the face glasses section and click on the Flappy Bird filter represented by a rubber duck.
This will automatically display the game in 3D as virtual reality on your environment on the screen of your Andorid or iPhone. That is, the game will be developed on what you are focusing with the rear camera of your device. Here you will see the rubber duck, a point counter and some pipes. The objective of the game is to fly the duckling to pass between the holes left by the pipes at the top and bottom.
To make the rubber duck fly / jump, you must repeatedly press the screen of your device. This will make the parito fence stay in the air. However, you must control the impulses of the same to prevent you from touching the pipes and being eliminated. As you go through pipes you will add points that will be shown in the marker at the top of the screen.
The Flappy Bird game unlock code can be shared with any other snapchat friend. To send it by private message, you just have to access the filters section and select the game Flappy Bird.

If you do not want to repeat the process by accessing the Flappy Bird code website, we recommend that you take a photo of the code and then scan it directly from the reel or gallery of your device. You can do this from: Settings> Snapcodes> Scan from your device
