Unlocking the Benefits of Playing LinkedIn Games

Everyone has a guilty pleasure, whether it’s binge-watching a TV show or diving into fan fiction. But for me, it’s playing the LinkedIn games.

Surprised? You’re not alone. Many people are unaware that LinkedIn even has games. In May, the professional networking platform introduced three puzzles through LinkedIn News, inspired by the success of New York Times games. From logic puzzles like Queens to word games like Crossclimb, these games offer a refreshing break from the usual networking grind.

It may seem strange to play games on a platform like LinkedIn, but the trend is not unique to them. Companies like Apple News, Netflix, and YouTube are also jumping on the gaming bandwagon. And with the increasing popularity of NYT Games, it’s no wonder that LinkedIn is following suit.

But why are these games so addicting? As it turns out, there’s a scientific explanation. Ryan Douglas, co-founder of DeepWell DTx, a company focused on the mental health benefits of gaming, explains that playing games can help us break negative thought patterns and approach problems from a fresh perspective.

On a neuroscientific level, playing games activates the limbic system in our brains, which helps us navigate stress. By engaging with these stressors in a simulated environment, we train our brains to overcome challenges and develop new coping mechanisms.

However, moderation is key. DeepWell’s video game developer tools are designed for therapeutic use in short doses. This is why games like Wordle and NYT puzzles, with their once-a-day format, have become so popular. They offer a finite, manageable challenge that provides a sense of accomplishment without overwhelming the player.

Josh Wardle, the creator of Wordle, emphasizes the importance of games that respect the player’s time and attention. Unlike apps that demand endless engagement, games like Wordle and LinkedIn puzzles offer a brief, satisfying experience that doesn’t require a significant time commitment.

LinkedIn has seen a significant increase in player engagement since the launch of their games, with users spending more time on the platform. The games have also sparked conversations among users, leading to increased interaction and networking opportunities.

So, the next time you’re on LinkedIn, why not take a few minutes to play a game? It might just be the mental break you need to tackle the challenges of the day.
