LinkedIn is adding another title to its batch of games with Tango, which will start off easy on Mondays and become more difficult as the week progresses.
LinkedIn introduced three casual games in May, looking for new ways to get people to have fun and connect with others.
On Tuesday, the company launches game number four, and it's going deeper into logic puzzles with a title called. In the game, a user is presented with a grid, and a few squares are filled in with a sun or a moon. It's up to the player to fill in each remaining square with a sun or a moon, based on a few rules.
Yet gaming wasn't a part of LinkedIn for the first seven years after the acquisition, which was Microsoft's biggest ever until the Activision deal. Daniel Roth, LinkedIn's editor-in-chief, says the games are designed to be played a little bit each day, perhaps when the day begins or as a short interlude between projects. Hopefully, they'll spark conversations with colleagues and industry peers.
"It's not just meetings and documents," he said. "It's important to us that LinkedIn reflects what the world's best workplaces feel like." "I'd sooner give up my left arm than give up Queens," he wrote, adding that he used to be on LinkedIn once a week. When LinkedIn decided to launch a new logic game, employees came up with a few principles and brought them to Snyder. He sent back samples, and LinkedIn team members suggested additions, said LinkedIn games editor Paolo Pasco, who has constructed crossword puzzles for The New York Times.
