LinkedIn likely to soon have games to make you spend more time on platform: Report

That’s correct, according to sources, LinkedIn may soon challenge both Apple and Netflix with its in-app games.

According to TechCrunch, LinkedIn, which has more than a billion members today, is developing a new gaming experience. The first three early attempts are video games with the names “Inference,” “Crossclimb,” and “Queens.” A company spokesperson confirmed they are working on gaming, but there is no official launch date yet.

The spokesman stated in a statement, “We’re experimenting with adding puzzle-based games within the LinkedIn experience to unlock a bit of fun, deepen relationships, and hopefully spark the opportunity for conversations.”

It is clear that LinkedIn wants to increase the average spend time on the app and it sees gaming as the ideal avenue to enter and appeal to more users.

On PC and mobile platforms, gaming apps are often rated as the most popular, which increases platform revenue and user engagement. Specifically, the puzzle-based casual games are quite popular among smartphone users.
