I regret to inform you that LinkedIn’s games are very fun

LinkedIn has added three daily games to its app, Pinpoint, Crossclimb, and Queens, and columnist David Pierce says they are fun and effective at bringing him back every day. He describes the games as closely modeled on The New York Times' puzzles, with Pinpoint resembling Connections in reverse and Crossclimb resembling the Times' mini crossword. Pierce writes that LinkedIn is using the games to become more than a job site, and he notes that Microsoft reported LinkedIn revenue up 10 percent year over year, and that CEO Satya Nadella said engagement hit a record high last quarter.
