Customers love to play voice-based games on Alexa-enabled devices. 20% of our top skills are games, including Jeopardy!, Animal Game, The Tickle Monster Game and more. And, in July 2016, Alexa customers engaged in over 300K game sessions in the top five game skills alone. Now, we’ve made it easier to create game skills for Alexa.

Now we’ve made it easier for you to reach customers on millions of Alexa-enabled devices with your game content using the Alexa Skills Kit. We have introduced a tool with source code that allows you to graphically design interactive adventure games for Alexa. Interactive adventure games represent a new category of skill that allows customers to engage with an interactive story through voice. With these skills, you can showcase original content or build compelling companion experiences to existing books, movies and games.

If you want to get started quickly, you can use our Trivia or Decision Tree skill templates that make it easy for developers or non-developers to create game skills. These templates make it easy for developers or non-developers to create a skill similar to “European Vacation Recommender” or “Astronomy Trivia."
