The Best Alexa Games for your Entertainment

Gaming has come a long way in the last five years. We now have VR/AR and 4K gaming, which is only going to continue to grow in popularity. The idea of using a smart speaker to play games was unheard of five years ago, but now it’s one of the most popular ways to enjoy gaming. ..

The Echo and Alexa devices are now being used by thousands of people to play games, and some of the best experiences are coming from the Alexa Skills Store. These skills have caught the attention of mainstream game developers like Bethesda and Bungie, who are using them to create new games.

Voice gaming has been around for a while now, but it really took off in the last few years with the release of games like “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” and “Super Mario Odyssey.” These games allow players to control their voice-controlled characters through voice commands, making them feel like they’re playing a game themselves.

Here is the list of the best Alexa games for your entertainment

the magic door

If you’ve never played a pick your own adventure game with Alexa, you might want to start here, as it can be hard to go back to Alexa’s somewhat emotionless voice after listening to a game with actual voice actors (which will come later). In this game, you see a monotone Alexa saying things like, “Oh my God, I’m really scared right now,” in the exact similar tone she replies that she turned her lights out.

Rock Paper Scissors

The classic game of rock, paper, and scissors is easy to play on Alexa. Just ask her to play and she’ll start a countdown. After the countdown is over, she’ll announce which one she’s chosen. She won’t listen to your choice or tell you who won, so you’ll need to know which item beats the others. For an advanced version of the game, launch the Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock game in the Alexa app and say “Alexa, open Lizard Spock” to play. ..

Harry Potter test

Pottermore has released a new skill called “Quiz Wizard.” This is a must for Potter fans as you can get three new questions each day and choose between two difficulty levels: OWL or NEWT. You can play with up to three people in each house, and progress is remembered between games. The questions cover quotes, characters, spells, creatures, objects and potions from the books. This skill works great on an Echo speaker: no screen required. ..

Headset

In Earplay, every choice you make has consequences. You can play with the woman’s ruse, dig through her purse, or even ask her for a drink. The story of Codename Cygnus is a seven-chapter interactive fictional world where you are a secret agent trying to fulfill his mission. Each chapter features a different story with unique consequences.

blackjack

Alexa can help you win the game of poker by announcing her letters and cover letter. You can hit or stop the cards with your virtual coins, and she will give you a set amount of money for each bet.

beat the intro

In this music game, you play as a person who wants to name a song before the intro ends. The goal is to name the artist and song title. There are daily challenges and you can optionally play with the Echo Buttons so there are no arguments about who played first. The ‘greatest hits’ and ‘today’s hits’ are free, but you can upgrade to the Unlimited version, which is a subscription service, if you want more.

The Dark Citadel

The Dark Citadel is an episodic, choice-based gaming experience where the player is the last hope for the beleaguered city of Alderton. Alexa is the narrator of your quest, reading rich, descriptive passages that create a compelling narrative for you to interact with. ..

escape the room

Escape rooms are more fun with friends, and there are lots of computers and mobile escape room games. But with this skill you can play with Alexa. Using only Alexa’s descriptions, you must navigate the room, discover and interact with objects to escape. There are four bedrooms to choose from as well. To start a game, say “Alexa, open Escape the Room”.

Skyrim Very Special Edition

Skyrim is a great game to play with Alexa. It’s all audio-based, and it’s a little ironic in a way that will have those familiar with the RPG chuckling. However, when driving Alexa, you can still roam Skyrim, fight, scream, open doors, and fight dragons. Yep, the whole thing was actually created by Bethesda Game Studios. So it’s as authentic as possible for a voice assistant adventure in the Nordic realm.

To Trade or Not to Trade

TV quiz show “Quiz Show” is being remade as an Alexa Skill. The objective of the game is to choose from 20 cases, each containing different amounts of money. Initially, your task is to remove the lowest value boxes from the game. The banker will offer a deal, based on the value of the remaining crates. Once you agree to a settlement, your original case is opened and you earn the imaginary money in it. ..
