LinkedIn's Surprising New Addiction: Games

  • LinkedIn has introduced three new games: Queens, Crossclimb, and Pinpoint, mimicking New York Times' popular puzzles.
  • These games provide a quick dopamine rush, making them a guilty pleasure for many, including during work hours.
  • Experts suggest that brief gaming sessions can offer mental health benefits by activating the brain's stress-navigation system.
  • LinkedIn has seen a 20% weekly increase in new player engagement since July, with users often starting conversations post-game.
  • Despite the professional setting, LinkedIn's games are becoming a popular distraction, blending work and play.
