LinkedIn has unveiled a new puzzle game called Zip, aimed at enhancing professionals’ problem-solving skills through an engaging and interactive format. Designed to challenge players’ critical thinking abilities, Zip requires users to connect numbers sequentially on a grid while ensuring that every cell is utilized.
The game starts with simple levels and gradually increases in complexity throughout the week, making it an ideal daily mental workout. It is accessible on both desktop and mobile platforms, including the LinkedIn app on iOS and Android.
According to Lakshman Somasundaram, LinkedIn’s Director of Product, Zip serves as a quick and enjoyable cognitive exercise for busy professionals. The game includes an intelligent hint system and a streak tracker, enabling players to monitor their progress and stay motivated.
Users can access Zip directly from the LinkedIn Games widget, which also displays their best performance streaks. The introduction of Zip aligns with the growing trend of casual games for professionals, offering a refreshing way to blend entertainment with skill development.
By incorporating gamification, LinkedIn aims to make networking and learning more engaging, reinforcing its commitment to professional growth through innovative digital experiences.
