Zip

Zip by LinkedIn is redefining the future of professional development by merging cognitive skill-building with engaging interactive gameplay. Our vision is to create a dynamic environment where learning and entertainment converge, fostering daily intellectual growth for professionals worldwide.

At the heart of Zip is a commitment to enhancing strategic thinking, memory, and problem-solving skills through carefully crafted puzzles that fit seamlessly into the busy lives of users. By embedding these experiences directly into LinkedIn's platform, we enable a new era of gamified professional learning where users grow their capabilities while connecting with their networks.

We are building a future where professional growth is an engaging, communal, and continuous journey—powered by innovative technology and fueled by the desire to make learning both meaningful and enjoyable on a global scale.

When LinkedIn announced they were launching a puzzle game, we'll admit we were skeptical. But after spending time with Zip, we're convinced they're onto something clever here. This isn't just another mobile puzzle game – it's a surprisingly engaging blend of brain training and professional networking.

A Fresh Take on Professional Development

What sets Zip apart is how seamlessly it fits into the professional context. Unlike standalone brain training apps, it lives right inside LinkedIn, making it feel less like procrastination and more like legitimate skill-building. The daily puzzles are quick, challenging, and clearly designed with busy professionals in mind.

Smart Social Integration

We particularly love how Zip handles its social features. Being able to challenge colleagues adds a fun competitive element without feeling forced or awkward. It's a natural ice-breaker that's more meaningful than typical LinkedIn interactions – there's something uniquely satisfying about beating your boss at a logic puzzle!

Room for Growth

While the core gameplay is solid, we see huge potential for expansion. LinkedIn could potentially tie puzzle performance to professional skills or use the data to highlight cognitive strengths in profiles. Right now, it's a bit isolated from the main LinkedIn experience, but we expect that to change as the platform evolves.

Who It's Perfect For

If you're a professional who enjoys quick mental challenges and wants to add some productive fun to your workday, Zip is worth checking out. It's especially appealing for teams looking to build camaraderie through friendly competition. Just don't blame us if you get addicted to beating your daily scores!
