Microsoft is making some changes to its popular virtual workspace Microsoft Teams, adding some classic games you can play with colleagues.
Get more out of each other: work in your own time with Microsoft Teams
This comes in the form of a new app called Games for Work, which is part of Microsoft Teams. There are a number of casual multiplayer titles available through this platform, including Microsoft Minesweeper, Microsoft Solitaire, and a word game called Microsoft Wordament.
These games allow up to 250 people to play simultaneously, which meets the needs of larger companies that rely on Teams for their day-to-day communications. In that regard, the designs of the classic titles have been adapted to support multiplayer. Players go head-to-head in Solitaire, and in Minesweeper, players form teams to clear mines from the board.
Some titles feature leaderboards so you can see how you stack up against your peers. Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition, right? There’s even a game called Microsoft IceBreakers that helps your peers, well, break the ice by asking pointed questions and doing fun activities.
