Games for Work, Microsoft's newest program, integrates a selection of casual games into Microsoft Teams so that users may compete against one another while in meetings. Solitaire, Minesweeper, Wordament, and IceBreakers are among the games that can be played through the app; according to Microsoft, all of these games are safe for work and ad-free. The number of participants that can participate in each of the four interactive games ranges from two to 250. With Solitaire emphasizing head-to-head competition and Minesweeper largely relying on the cooperative gameplay aspect where players must cooperate to solve tasks, each game delivers a unique playing experience. As a version of this or that, IceBreakers asks players to select between two possibilities, such as yes or no questions, in order to promote interaction among coworkers. Additionally, Wordament focuses on fostering team rivalry through a word challenge that is easily adaptable to big groups. Microsoft Casual Games, a division of Xbox Game Studios, created the Games for Work app. The software allows users to play games directly within the Microsoft Teams app and was made with the intention of solving team-building needs. "Games promote creativity, collaboration, and communication in powerful and unique ways," said Jill Braff, General Manager of integrations and casual games at Microsoft, in a blog post. "We can't wait to see how the Games for Work app on Microsoft Teams inspires productivity and helps foster connections in the workplace."
