LinkedIn Introduces In-App Games to Boost Engagement
TL;DR
LinkedIn is planning to introduce a games section to its platform, with companies being ranked on leaderboards based on their employees' scores. The games are expected to be simple and short, similar to Wordle or Connections, and are aimed at adding fun, deepening relationships, and sparking conversations among users. The feature was confirmed by LinkedIn, but it's unclear whether Microsoft, LinkedIn's parent company, is involved in the games' development.
