LinkedIn, a professional social networking and recruitment platform owned by Microsoft, is looking to boost user engagement by entering the gaming field. With over 1 billion users, LinkedIn is experimenting with incorporating puzzle games like “Wordle” to increase user conversations and interaction on the platform.
According to reports, LinkedIn is currently developing three puzzle games, including “Queens”, “Inference”, and “Crosslimb”. The company is also considering implementing a ranking system based on employee scores in the game. LinkedIn’s official response stated that the puzzle game has not yet been officially launched, but it aims to bring fun to users and deepen relationships.
Microsoft, LinkedIn’s parent company, has seen significant success in the gaming industry, with its game revenue surpassing that of the Windows operating system for the first time last quarter. This move by LinkedIn to enter the gaming space aligns with Microsoft’s overall gaming strategy.
As LinkedIn continues to explore new ways to engage its users, the addition of puzzle games could provide a unique and interactive experience for professionals on the platform. Stay tuned for more updates on LinkedIn’s gaming developments.
