Crossclimb is a trivia game that involves filling out words arranged in a ladder using one's word library and trivia knowledge.
Each day, users can only play each game once, and they can share their scores with their connections.
LinkedIn has introduced three new thinking-oriented games: Pinpoint, Queens, and Crossclimb.
Pinpoint is a word game where players must guess the common theme that ties a series of words together.
Queens is described as a combination of Sudoku and Minesweeper, where players use logic to place chess pieces in the correct position within an 8x8 grid.
The games are designed to help users engage with each other and foster connections.
LinkedIn, the professional networking platform, has recently introduced three new games: Pinpoint, Queens, and Crossclimb. These thinking-oriented games are designed to help users engage with each other and foster connections.
Pinpoint is a word game where players must guess the common theme that ties a series of words together. The player is given five attempts to make their guess.
Queens is described as a combination of Sudoku and Minesweeper, where players use logic to place chess pieces in the correct position within an 8x8 grid. The objective is to create an unbreakable web of destruction if another piece enters the same zone.
Crossclimb is a trivia game that involves filling out words arranged in a ladder using one's word library and trivia knowledge. Each day, users can only play each game once, and they can share their scores with their connections.
LinkedIn's editor-in-chief and VP of Product, Dan Roth, stated that the inspiration for these games was not from the success of Wordle or The New York Times Games app but rather from the very first crossword puzzle in The New York World newspaper over a century ago. There are currently no plans for a standalone gaming app.
These games aim to help users think differently and connect with their network, as opposed to being just another addition to the platform for entertainment purposes.
LinkedIn is adding three, free thinking-oriented games to its platform.
The first game is Pinpoint, a word association game revealing different words for a total of five tries with the player guessing the common category.
The third game is Crossclimb, a trivia game described as a combination of crossword and word ladder where players use their trivia prowess and word library to fill out words arranged in a ladder.
LinkedIn has added three puzzle games to its platform: Pinpoint, Crossclimb, and Queens.
Pinpoint is a 'guess the shared theme' game similar to Wordle but with only one category.
Queens is a chess-themed game where players position chess pieces within a cube of coloured zones, creating an unflappable web of destruction if another piece enters.

The article contains editorializing and sensationalism. The author makes statements such as 'Everyone knows that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy' and 'It's all about helping you stretch and exercise your mind, but more importantly how this helps you really connect.' These statements are not facts, but rather the author's opinions. Additionally, the title of the article is sensationalized with phrases like 'LinkedIn gets games as three puzzlers go live on the workplace social service' and 'Get ahead of the game - literally'. This implies that playing these games will give users an advantage in their careers, which may not be true.

The author is making an appeal to benefit by stating that the games on LinkedIn will give users a way to exercise their brains and connect with others. This is not a fallacy as such, but it can be seen as an attempt to persuade the reader that the addition of games on LinkedIn is a good thing.
We want to give people a way to exercise their brains while taking a quick break, but also give people a reason to connect with others.
You’ll be able to play each game once a day, see other connections who have played that day and engage in some friendly rivalry with leaderboards.
