Brain Boosters #1

May 16, 2025

Linkedin has recently launched the "Games" section, giving finally a sense to a social network which has become a useless parade of self celebrations, meaningless insights, sponsored messages and a fake job board. The main characteristic of these games is that only a round per day can be played, so you won't get distracted too much from the other "important" duties you might have in Linkedin.... 

Five games are available for the moment:

1. Zip, a classical "complete the path joining the dots in order" game. 
2. Tango, where you'll have to fill a grid of moons and suns following the given rules.
3. Queens, where your grid is divided in colored regions that must have a crowned cell.
4. Pinpoint, a classic "guess the category" game.
5. Crossclimb, a linguistic trivia.

A honorable mention goes to Queens, a fun, addictive and moderately challenging game which succeeds in keeping you busy for a few minutes, representing an excellent distraction from the tasks of your busy day. Give it a try!
