EarplayĮarplay is an adventure game wherein you play the part of a secret agent in a radio drama. It will then ask you if you want to play again. If you don't bust and eventually choose to stand, Alexa will tell you what the dealer chose to do and whether it busted or you won. Decide what you want to do and speak your answer. It will then ask you if you want to hit or stand. The virtual dealer will deal you a hand and Alexa will speak your cards and one of the dealer's cards. To enable and open it, just say, "Alexa, open The Dealer." You can also play Blackjack with Alexa with the skill titled Beat The Dealer. Don't be surprised when you can't stump Alexa. To start a game, say, "Alexa, open Akinator." The game will immediately start, and you will need to answer each question with a yes or no.
It's essentially a form of 20 questions, where you select a character and answer a series of yes-or-no questions and Alexa tries to guess who you're thinking of. To open the skill, say, "Alexa, open Lizard Spock" and follow the prompts. If you enable the Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock skill, Alexa will explain how you won or lost, keep track of your wins and tell you who racked up the most wins over several rounds. To spice it up a bit, try the more advanced version, Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock. But the built-in functionality is a bit sterile, and it doesn't give you any information, like who won the round. Out of the box, you can challenge Alexa to a round of Rock Paper Scissors. For example, say, "Top left" or "Bottom." 3. To start a game, say "Alexa, ask Tic Tac Toe for a game" or "Alexa, ask Tic Tac Toe to start a new game by taking the center."Īlexa will then speak Alexa's move, and you will have to speak your next move. If you don't draw the board yourself, you have to imagine the game in your head. If a standard game of Tic Tac Toe against a computer is too easy for you, try playing a round with Alexa.
Of course, to play Bingo, you will need number cards, which you can download for free from. When someone wins, say "Bingo!" and the game will end. To advance to the next number, say "Next" or "Call the next number." To play it with your Alexa speaker, say, "Alexa, open Bingo." Each number called by Alexa will be repeated and viewable from within the Alexa app.
For example, you could call your speaker group House Party or Friday Night Dance Time, or even Whole House. Now you'll need to name your music group - you can choose from one of the common names that Amazon has created, like Kitchen or Family Room, or you can customize a new name. Select all the speakers you want to stream music on at the same time, then tap Next. You'll see a list of all your Echo devices connected to your Amazon account.
Next, tap the Plus icon in the top right corner and choose Set Up Multi-Room Music. Then open the Alexa app on your phone and select Devices at the bottom of the screen. Make sure you've got all of the devices set up on the same Wi-Fi network before you get started. The setup is easy and only takes a few minutes. If you've got multiple Echo devices set up around your house, you'll be simultaneously streaming music on all your speakers in no time.
Or maybe you just want to listen to music at the same volume as you walk from room to room.
While you're stuck inside the house, there's no better way to pass the time than throw your own dance party using your Amazon Echo speakers. Stream music across all your Amazon Echo speakers at once.
