Playing games on an Alexa enabled device, such as the Echo Studio, Standard Echo, and Echo Dot, is a great way to have fun with your family and friends. There are many different types of games you can play on your smart home assistant, ranging from music games to trivia games to games just for kids.
Games are embedded as ‘skills’ on the Amazon Alexa. To play these games, tell Alexa what you want to play, and Alexa enables it. If you’re not sure what to ask for, open the Alexa app and navigate to the ‘skills’ menu. Here, you’ll find a list of all games, trivia, and accessories for Alexa.
Amazon is always adding new games to keep their offerings fresh and interesting. In fact, there are over 7,000 different paid and free games available for Alexa. Read on to find out about a few of the most popular and fun games you can play on Alexa in 2024.
Alexa Music Games
Music games combine two of your Alexa speaker’s best features: the ability to play music and the ability of the speaker to interact with the user. Turn those songs into a trivia contest or just dance around and have some fun with these great games.
Song Quiz Tests Your Music and Lyric Knowledge
Ask Alexa to “play song quiz” to test your knowledge of music from multiple genres and generations. Alexa will play you a clip of a song, usually about 10 seconds, and your job is to identify the title of the song as well as the artist.
You get points for each correct answer and bonus points for correctly identifying the title and artist together. Song Quiz genres include the 70s, 80s, 90s, pop, classic rock, country, and more. It also includes single-player and multiplayer modes so you can test your knowledge or challenge your friends and family head to head.
Alexa will ask what decade you’d like to play from. Choose between the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s, or 2010’s. Each Song Quiz playlist contains a variety of songs from multiple genres, but focuses largely on the top 40 list during those decades.
The Song Quiz game is free to play on Alexa. There is also a gold edition available for an $12.99/month fee in 2024 which features more songs and playlists.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
