LinkedIn Launches Trio of Daily Puzzle Games to Boost Engagement

Professional networking platform LinkedIn introduces three new daily games, aiming to increase user interaction and compete with popular game offerings like those from the New York Times.

LinkedIn has rolled out three new daily games: Pinpoint, a word association game; Queens, a Sudoku-style puzzle; and Crossclimb, a trivia-based game.
The games, designed to be completed in just a few minutes, are intended to foster networking and competition among users.
Notable game creators involved include Paolo Pasco, a crossword champion, and Thomas Snyder, a Sudoku world champion.
LinkedIn's move mirrors strategies by other platforms like the New York Times, which have successfully integrated games to boost user engagement.
The games are accessible on both mobile and desktop platforms, with features including daily streaks and leaderboards to enhance competitiveness.
