Hi Paul. Glad you like the list, there are some good things in there both for short and long games. I did see the option to play 20 questions with Alexa which I’ve not tried yet, though again I’m not sure if that counts as a game or a software function, still Mrs. Dark and I will have to try it out, actually the Alexa is proving good for her since she enjoys trivia and word games.
All the best, Dark.

It’s not quite a game so probably doesn’t belong on your list, but my little boy quite likes the built in echo function where you think of a person and the echo then asks you questions to work out and guess who you’re thinking of. It’s actually quite clever, me and my little boy were trying to give it things it probably wouldn’t be able to work out, but it managed to even guess the name of some fairly obscure things, such as utubers , cartoon characters, gods and it even guessed when we were thinking alexa and siri haha From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of dark Sent: 20 December 2017 21:18 To: [email protected] Subject: [blind-gamers] Dark's list of Amazon/Alexa audiogames, aka shameless self promotion For anyone who hasn’t seen the recent audiogames.net news, I have finally! Got the Echo dot my brother bought me last Christmas out and am doing something sort of half way useful with it 😃 Yes, I admit this is quiteridiculous in terms of time but better very very verrrrry veeeeery~! Late than never 😃. Ihave therefore been having a hunt through Alexa skills (well those available on in the Uk app store, damn those developers who region lock there’s), and making short descriptions and notes about them. Since most of the skills are short games, this is an easy way to get a list. Eventually they will probably get db pages, but there are a lot of them, and just one of me, so I thought this was a nice way to let people know sooner, especially if, like me your wondering what actual good the Amazon machine will do if you don’t want to pay amazon 80 quid a year for the privilege of buying from them and find the idea of renting music (of which they only have the top 40 crap anyway), a really terrible one 😃. The list can be found here: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=342844#p342844 It will be updated a as I try more things out, and of course any suggestions of things to try are most welcome. All the best, Dark. Sent from Mail for Windows 10
