About the Pinpoint Challenge

The Pinpoint Challenge is an original daily mini-game created by LinkedIn Pinpoint Answers Today. Every puzzle is written by our team — none of the Challenge puzzles are taken from LinkedIn's official Pinpoint game.

How to play

You're shown a puzzle with up to five hidden clues. Reveal them one at a time. Each clue you reveal costs you a point — so try to guess the category as early as you can.

  • Solve after clue 1 → 5 points (perfect)
  • Solve after clue 2 → 4 points
  • Solve after clue 3 → 3 points
  • Solve after clue 4 → 2 points
  • Solve after clue 5 → 1 point

Your guess doesn't need to be word-for-word identical. Reasonable variations of the answer are accepted, so don't stress about exact wording — focus on spotting the connection.

This is not the official LinkedIn game

The Pinpoint Challenge is an original puzzle we've built purely for engagement — it uses the general idea of "guess the category from clues" but the puzzle content, wording, and answers are entirely our own. If you want to play LinkedIn's official Pinpoint puzzle instead, you can find it here:
