These daily games – Pinpoint, Queens, and Crossclimb – aim to spark lighthearted interactions and friendly competition among your professional connections. Each game offers a single daily play, allowing you to test your vocabulary, logic, and trivia skills.
Test Your Word Power
- Pinpoint: This word association game challenges you to find the hidden category that connects five seemingly unrelated words revealed one at a time. Guess the category with the fewest word reveals for an impressive score.
Unravel the Word Ladder:
- Crossclimb: A clever blend of trivia and wordplay, Crossclimb presents you with a clue for a word. Your mission? Build a word ladder starting with the given word, where each subsequent word differs by just one letter. Arrange the ladder correctly to unlock the final clue and win the game.
Leaderboard Bragging Rights:
After each game, you’ll see your performance stats, including your high score and daily streak. But the fun doesn’t stop there! You’ll also gain access to leaderboards showcasing top performers within your network, adding a touch of friendly competition.
