Amazing Games to Play with Alexa in 2022

Did you know that, in addition to all of the fantastic smart-home features that Amazon's trusty digital companion brings to the table, Alexa can also be the life of your next party? Whether you want to engage everyone in a round of trivia, a story-based adventure, or some type of guessing extravaganza, playing games with Alexa is a definite way to amuse all of your guests. We've compiled a list of some of the amazing games you can play with Alexa right now for your consideration.

Story-based and choose-your-own-adventure games

1. Magic Door

If you've never played a choose-your-own-adventure game with Alexa, you should start here since it can be difficult to return to Alexa's rather emotionless voice after listening to a game with genuine voice actors (which we'll discuss later). In this game, you get a monotonous Alexa who says things like, "Oh, my, I'm extremely terrified now," and then responds by turning out your lights in the same tone.

Nonetheless, it's a nice game for newcomers. To begin, Alexa will inquire as to whether you would want to explore the mountains, sea, or forest. Each one will launch you on a wonderful trip through a maze of mystical artifacts, talking monsters, and scary sounds. To use this talent, you must activate alerts for some reason.

2. The Dark Citadel

The Dark Citadel is an episodic, choice-based game experience for fans of Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer, and Diablo. The player is the final chance for the beleaguered city of Alderton. Alexa serves as your quest's humble narrator, reciting rich and evocative sentences that weave a gripping story for you to interact with.

Alexa will deliver suggestions at important points in the game that allow the player to attack, talk to strangers, get drunk at the hamlet bar, and a variety of other actions that will affect the result of the player's overall plot. Snippets of Game of Thrones-style orchestral movements and fantastical sound effects assist to round out this immersive experience.

The Dark Citadel's creators, LC Publishing, are true masters of the episodic, or "chapter-based," game subgenre. You may even take your full-fledged hero (or villain) into three more adventures from the LC team, including Ghost Stories, Last Light in the Dark, and Gumshoe Detective Agency, once you've completed their Citadel adventure.

3. Earplay

More stories are available in Earplay, which you may affect with your choices. A woman sits at your table in a restaurant and begs you to pretend you know who she is in the demo. Every decision you make will have ramifications, from going along with her ruse to snooping through her pocketbook. Codename Cygnus, an Earplay secret agent narrative, is a seven-chapter interactive fictional universe in which you play as a secret agent attempting to complete your objective. You may now select from five new stories on Earplay, including Jurassic World Revealed and You and the Beanstalk, which are suitable for the entire family.

4. Skyrim Very Special Edition

Of course, you can — sort of — play Skyrim with Alexa. This Elder Scrolls V is entirely audio-based, and it's a little tongue-in-cheek in a way that will make fans of the RPG laugh. You can still make your way through Skyrim, battle, yell, unlock doors, and kill dragons by instructing Alexa. Yes, Bethesda Game Studios designed the entire thing, making it as genuine as a voice-assistant journey in the Nordic realm can be.

5. The Orpheus Device

If you're looking for something a little creepy, this haunted home adventure is for you. The game involves you exploring an ancient haunted home with the titular Device, which allows you to converse with a family of ghosts - a highly dysfunctional family full of anger toward one another from their terrible past. On your quest to offer them what peace you can, speak with them, hear their secrets, and explore everything the haunted home has to offer.

7. RuneScape Quests: One Piercing Note

Although RuneScape is an online role-playing game, One Piercing Note does not require any prior knowledge of the game's imaginative medieval universe. You've been charged with investigating the abbey's mystery as an explorer. It's similar to The Name of the Rose, but instead of slain monks, it's dead nuns.

Unlike The Wayne Investigation, this mission does not include Alexa, which helps to immerse you in the remote abbey's ambiance, which may or may not include a demon. Please be aware that some of the details are rather unpleasant.

8. Escape the Room

Escape games are all the rage these days, so it's no surprise that one is available in an Alexa-friendly version. It's more of a spoken hidden object plus puzzle game than a choose-your-own-adventure game. It's possible that a smart speaker isn't the optimal medium for this, so expect some repetition.

Most of your movement is controlled by a few basic instructions, thus if you want to look at things on a shelf, you must first look at the shelf. If you say, "Look at the shelf," while staring at the door, Alexa will inform you there isn't one. She had a hard time able to comprehending us in general for some reason. We didn't say buffet; we said bucket! Despite the challenges, it's still a one-of-a-kind game for the platform, and it'll take longer to complete than some of the others on the list.

Based on a TV game show

1. Jeopardy!

You'll know it's the genuine deal when you hear Johnny Gilbert and Alex Trebek greet you when you use this talent. Each day, you'll be given a question from one of six Jeopardy! categories to answer. Non-Prime members can pay $2 per month for these questions, while Prime members get an extra six from the Double Jeopardy rounds for free. If you're having problems coming up with the right answer, you may put it off a little by not replying in the form of a question, and Alexa will remind you later. Of course, this is cheating and would not be tolerated on a real game show.

2. Deal or No Deal

There are no stakes in this unauthorized version of Deal or No Deal. You select a briefcase to keep and then select additional briefcases to open. Hopefully, you can get rid of all the ones that have a penny, $500, $1,000, and so on without having to open the ones that have $1 million or $750,000 in them. Keep a pen and paper available, or use your Alexa app to remind yourself which scenarios you've previously picked. On the program, Meghan Markle used to unlock briefcases, which was a fun tidbit.

3. Guess the Price

The Guess the Price talent lets you feel like you're on a game show, even if Bob Barker isn't present to ask you questions and it isn't exactly the Price Is Right. You'll be guessing the prices of products, just as on the game show. Bonus points are awarded if you correctly predict the price, although getting it near is also acceptable.

Good for a group

1. Song Quiz

Alexa will play a fragment of a song while you guess the artist or title using Song Quiz. For extra points, get both of them right. You may play with friends in the room or solo, and you can select a decade from the 1960s through the 2010s. If you're playing alone, you'll be pitted against a stranger. Don't worry, you won't hear each other's responses; all you'll know is whether they got it right or not.

Alexa will occasionally let you know how good you are: we were among the 18% who correctly identified both the title and the artist for Sugar Ray's "Every Morning." It was essential in our triumph over Catherine of Georgia. Shut the door, darling, don't say a thing if you're going to make fun of us for knowing that Sugar Ray song.

2. Would You Rather Family

This party game asks you to select between two horrible situations and then tells you how many others agree with your choice. The fact that this is the family edition means that some of the scenarios aren't too horrible. (Would you like to spend the night in a theme park or a library?) This talent also has a Harry Potter variant, which was unexpectedly enjoyable.

3. Truth or Dare – Spin the Bottle

This game is a hybrid of Truth or Dare and Spin the Bottle, two popular party games. Alexa spins a fictitious bottle and tells you who it will fall on. The drama must then choose between truth and daring. Alexa may pick between 220 questions and chores based on the response, ensuring that the games do not become tedious.

4. True or False for Family

The concept behind this game is straightforward: answer truthful or false to a series of questions. Some are simple to understand, while others are more difficult. Even if you guess correctly, you could learn something since Alexa frequently provides more information. You may be aware that David Letterman is a weatherman, but did you know that he once congratulated a tropical storm on its upgrading to a hurricane?

5. St. Noire Cinematic Board Game

This is an intriguing new category of Alexa-compatible board games. Allow me to explain: You buy the board game the old-fashioned way and place it near an Echo speaker. Alexa then introduces and narrates the game while you play, with the aid of other voice actors. The murder mystery setting of St. Noire is ideal for this type of approach. It's a little like Clue, however instead of a mansion, the locations are spread out around a city... and because each game lasts around 30 minutes, sessions don't have to be overly long after everyone has figured out the rules.

Here, are some other Online Trivia Games for this Valentine's Day that you can play with your friends, loved ones, etc (you don't need Alexa for this only just open your chrome and type Triviamaker and play). Custom, Create, host, and more...
