LinkedIn Explores Adding Gaming Features to Platform

The professional networking site is developing puzzle games to enhance user engagement and foster interactions.

LinkedIn is reportedly considering adding gaming to its platform, with puzzle games like 'Crossclimb' and 'Queens' in development.
The games aim to add a fun element to the professional networking site, deepen relationships, and spark conversations among users.
LinkedIn might introduce company leaderboard rankings based on employee scores from these games, encouraging competition and interaction.
There's no confirmed launch date for the games, but LinkedIn's move reflects a broader trend of social media platforms incorporating gaming.
Microsoft, which owns LinkedIn, acquired Activision Blizzard, highlighting its growing focus on gaming, though LinkedIn's games are developed independently.
