Link: Bringing Professionals Together with Games

LinkedIn is launching thinking-oriented games on the platform as a way for users to exercise their brains during a quick break and also connect with others. The games can be found in the News module on the LinkedIn homepage or the MyNetwork tab. You can see connections who have played that day and engage in some friendly rivalry with leaderboards. 3 games are currently available — Pinpoint, Crossclimb, and Queens — and you can play each game once a day. #
