Microsoft plays around

Playing games virtually was one of the few lockdown highlights, and while we’re now enjoying meeting our mates IRL (which isn’t great for Mark Zuckerberg’s Metaverse), Microsoft wants us to get back online. The tech giant is promoting a Games for Work app on its Teams platform, which it claims can be used “in moderation” to boost worker productivity and morale. Fancy a game of Minesweeper with your work bestie? Now you can relive the magic in the office or while WFH. And the fun doesn’t end there. Other classics include Solitaire (which is usually a solo endeavour – the hint’s in the name…), and new faves like IceBreakers (a list of get-to-know-you questions like ‘do you prefer pineapple or pepperoni on your pizza?’) are also available. Employers might not be enthusiastic about the new offering – or maybe remember to let your boss win.
