Games have brought people together for centuries, and LinkedIn is joining in on the fun. LinkedIn News is introducing three games — Pinpoint, Queens and Crossclimb — that aim to spark conversations and friendly competition among professionals around the world. Word games in particular have only grown in popularity since the first “word-cross” puzzle was introduced 111 years ago, with a projected annual growth rate of 8.61%.

Pinpoint is a word association game where you try to guess the common category for a set of clues.

Queens is a logic game that challenges players to fill each row, column and colored region in the grid with a “queen” – but none can touch each other.

Crossclimb uses trivia to create a word ladder that will unlock two final clues.
