Last night the TV lost signal, and I was going to bed in a few minutes anyway, so to kill some time I played some games on the Alexa Echo Show. There is a game I like on there called Askinator where they will guess what character you are thinking of. Alexa is pretty good at guessing. I remember once she even got Deputy Dawg. A cartoon character from Captain Kangaroo in the early 60;s. I also played song quiz against another participant, and Price is Right which was really cute because they had the music, the screen the way it is on TV..and you play against another participant. I haven't watched Price is Right for years and years,,but I have heard the theme music and used to watch it when I was a kid so I know the game. It was a good way to kill 15 minutes playing games on Alexa. IF you have an Alexa have you ever tried it?

I must admit I do have Alexa and I have never tried it.
So when we get home I will give Alexa a go

I like Alexa. I have used it to turn lights on and off, but it hasn't always worked perfectly. It can do some useful things, but you have to set it up. The games come pre loaded though. Just don't let them sell the deluxe version or whatever.

@Ineeddentures You can do whatever you want with it. As long as it's there it might as well help entertain you.

Phone games are fun when you need a break from whatever else you were doing.

I never played games on Alexa but I do watch Price Is Right almost every morning when I'm here chatting and having my coffee.

I just am not much of a game show fan. I will watch Jeopardy from time to time or like a password type show. I have also seen that Ninja Warrior type thing or whatever that show is called.

It is fun, and the sames are short. You can do them in 5 or 10 minutes.

It is fun. I actually have 3 Alexa devices, It drives me a little crazy though, because sometimes they think I am talking to one of them when it is actually another. They all have specific functions.
