Pinpoint — common questions

How is Pinpoint scored?

By how few clues you needed: solving on the first clue is the best possible game. Your result can be shared with connections, showing which clue number you solved on.

Do wrong answers end a Pinpoint game?

No — an incorrect guess just reveals the next clue. You only fail outright if the fifth clue passes without a correct answer.

Is there a new Pinpoint every day?

Yes, one puzzle daily for all players, with a streak for playing each day. Like the other LinkedIn games, there's no in-app archive of previous days.
