What is LinkedIn Queens?
Queens is a logic puzzle played on a grid divided into coloured regions. You have to place exactly one crown in each row, each column and each coloured region, and no two crowns may touch, not even diagonally. There is no guessing involved: every puzzle has one solution that can be worked out step by step. The satisfying part is spotting the forcing moves, like a small region that only leaves one possible square, and watching the rest of the board fall into place. Most puzzles take a couple of minutes, and you can mark squares where a crown cannot go to keep track of your reasoning. Launched by LinkedIn in 2024, it became the most talked-about of its games and a favourite quick break during the workday. Anyone who enjoys sudoku-style thinking will feel at home straight away.
How to play
- Place one crown in each row, each column and each colour region.
