Best Games On Linkedin You Have Never Seen

LinkedIn isn't typically associated with gaming in the classic sense, but there are a lot of fun ways people use it for career development and networking that can feel game-like. Here are a few ideas:

At LinkedIn, our goal is to continue providing a safe and trusted platform for professionals to stay informed and connected...We are looking to provide a quick bite size pause for people to exercise their brains but also, we want the games and questions to be starters for good conversation. We wish these games become an instrument of banter, conversation, or a bit of competition between the professionals across globe.

Networking Challenges - Launch a challenge to ping so many professionals within a week/month etc.

  • Skill Endorsement Games Gamify skill endorsement by prompting others to endorse each other's skills in a friendly competition to see who can get the most endorsements, etc.
  • Content Creation Contests Host a contest for who can create the best industry focused article or post that gets the most engagement.
  • Profile Success Quests Define as little or as many goals such as number of connections, recommendations etc. and track your progress.
  • Host a Virtual Meetup an online themed opportunity for members to network allow attendees to earn points/redeem points on their attendance/engagement/sharing of thoughts.
  • Industry Trivia Create some questions connected to the industry and have a trivia session that would allow you sharing an in-depth knowledge while allowing the team to bond together.

Those activities can increase engagement, help make connections to one another, and make professional networking a little more fun!
