The gaming feature was reported by some mainland-based Kuaishou users this week after they found a casual title called Tiao Tiao Qiu, which roughly translates as “Jumping Ball”. So far Tiao Tiao Qiu is the only game available inside Tencent-backed Kuaishou. A Beijing-based spokeswoman for Kuaishou declined to comment on the gaming feature, which appears to be under testing for selected users. In December last year WeChat launched its “mini game” function within the app, and among the most popular offerings was a platform-jumping game similar to Kuaishou’s Tiao Tiao Qiu. With about 130 million daily active users, Kuaishou typically targets youth in small Chinese towns outside major urban areas.
