Zip — common questions

Is there one Zip puzzle per day?

Yes — a single daily board, identical for all players, with streaks and time comparison against your connections. Harder boards are bigger with more checkpoints.

Does the Zip path have to cover every square?

Yes — reaching the final number with squares left uncovered doesn't count as a solve. Covering everything is the real puzzle; the numbered stops are there to constrain the route.

Where can I play Zip?

In the LinkedIn app's Games section or at linkedin.com/games, free with a LinkedIn account.
