LinkedIn Focuses on Fun with In-App Games

LinkedIn is working on in-app games to provide its users with a fun experience outside of job hunting.

Professional networking platform LinkedIn is developing in-app games to offer its users an entertaining experience beyond their job search. This new step reflects the aim of networking as well as the vision of providing users with an interactive and entertaining platform. According to information shared by application researcher Nima Owji, it has been revealed that LinkedIn is working on some puzzle-based games. Company officials also confirmed this plan to TechCrunch.

The way the games work will be that users' scores will affect the ranking of the companies they work for in the games. This means LinkedIn users can not only expand their networks but also compete through games.

According to TechCrunch, the game titles LinkedIn is working on include options such as “Queens,” “Inference” and “Crossclimb.” However, a clear timeline has not yet been determined for when the games will meet users. Additionally, it remains unclear whether the games will be offered to free users or paid subscribers.

This move by LinkedIn is seen as part of the platform's efforts to expand the user experience and increase functionality. The fact that users have access to more fun activities along with their job search may increase the popularity of the platform.
