Today, most platforms include different extra functionalities to increase the time the user spends on them, and many are experimenting with games.
Facebook has its own video games within the social network, even Netflix for users with mobile devices, but perhaps what you would never have expected is that LinkedIn, the social platform for creating professional relationships or looking for a job, could include them.
As first reported by Techcrunch and later confirmed LinkedIngames are going to be added to their platform, specifically games based on puzzles, some in the Wordle style.
Different fragments of code have been found that suggest that LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft, is working on including a series of mini-games within the social platform. The idea of LinkedIn involves that player scores be organized by workplace and that companies be ranked according to these scores.
LinkedIn has confirmed that they are indeed working on games for the platform, but at the moment they do not have a release date.
“We’re considering adding puzzle-based games within the LinkedIn experience to unlock some fun, deepen relationships, and hopefully spark the opportunity for conversations,” the spokesperson said in a message to TechCrunch.
Taking into account that Microsoftthe owner of LinkedIn, is one of the big players in the field of video games, the inclusion of this type of proposals on a social platform that until now was only focused on finding employment or strengthening relationships should not be understood as a surprise. professionals.
