11 LinkedIn Games to Play in 2026
Searching for a LinkedIn game usually means one of two things: you want today's official puzzle, or you want more Zip after the daily is done. This list covers both.
LinkedIn folded a full puzzle suite into the feed: Zip, Queens, Tango, Pinpoint, and Crossclimb are the core. They are short, mobile-friendly, and built for a coffee break. The catch: most official boards reset daily, and Zip in particular disappears once the next one lands.
If you came here for the Zip game specifically, you can play today's Zip free without signing in. The rest of this list explains every major LinkedIn game and which Zip-style mode to use when you want extra boards.
1. LinkedIn Zip
The LinkedIn game this site is built around. Draw one continuous path that visits numbered cells in order and fills every square. Walls block edges. Speed is the only score.
Official Zip lives on LinkedIn. For the same rules in a standalone Zip game, use the daily puzzle or read the LinkedIn Zip breakdown.
2. LinkedIn Queens
A star-battle style grid: place queens so no two share a row, column, or color region. It is the most “chess adjacent” LinkedIn game and rewards scanning regions before guessing.
3. LinkedIn Tango
Fill a grid with two symbols (sun and moon) under binary-adjacent rules. Equals and crosses on the borders tell you which cells must match or differ. Think of it as a friendlier Takuzu.
4. LinkedIn Pinpoint
A category puzzle. LinkedIn reveals clues one at a time; you name the shared theme. Wrong guesses cost you. It is the most trivia-like LinkedIn game in the set.
5. LinkedIn Crossclimb
A word ladder with a trivia lock: change one letter at a time, using clues, to climb from the bottom word to the top. Strong if you like both spelling and general knowledge.
6. Mini Sudoku on LinkedIn
A compact number grid for days you want something familiar. It is not as distinctive as Zip, but it is a LinkedIn game many people finish in under two minutes.
7. Zip Game daily (this site)
Same Zip rules, no LinkedIn account. Today’s board is seeded by the date so you can share a time with a friend. Start on the homepage.
8. Zip Game Unlimited
LinkedIn Zip publishes one board a day. Unlimited mode is for players who want another 6×6, or an 8×8, 10×10, or 12×12, immediately.
9. Beat the Clock Zip
A timed Zip game variant: a starting clock, bonus seconds for every solve, and waves that grow the grid. Closest thing to a speedrun LinkedIn game.
10. Progressive Zip
Starts easy and raises walls and size as you clear boards. Useful practice if the official LinkedIn Zip feels spiky from day to day.
11. Yesterday’s Zip (archive)
Official LinkedIn Zip boards expire. The archive here keeps daily-style puzzles playable so a missed LinkedIn game does not vanish overnight.
Which LinkedIn game should you start with?
If you like spatial logic, start with LinkedIn Zip or Queens. If you like words, start with Crossclimb or Pinpoint. If you want to keep playing after the official daily, this site's Zip game is the unlimited version of Zip, not a replacement for Queens or Tango.
LinkedIn Zip, the Zip game, and “LinkedIn game” as a search all collapse to the same habit: a two-minute puzzle that is easy to explain and hard to rush. That is why Zip spread so fast relative to the rest of the suite.
LinkedIn game vs Zip game: do you need an account?
On LinkedIn, guest play exists but streaks and leaderboards want a profile. This Zip game stores times in your browser only. Play by the same path rules, then jump into unlimited or progressive when one board is not enough.
