READ: CNET put together an awesome way that Amazon Alexa can spook up your Halloween! And this can come in handy this weekend! Check out all the cool things you can do:
Tell Halloween jokes
All you have to do is ask Alexa "Tell me a Halloween joke"
Play Halloween-themed games
There are a few according to CNET. Here are what they say are the options (Directly quoted)
- The Magic Door is a popular interactive adventure game. The Dark Forest Path will take you to the Witch's mansion in search of the Wise Wizard.
- Ghost Detector is exactly what it sounds like. You must detect and capture ghosts for Ghost Bux, with which you will be able to purchase "improvements, gadgets and missions."
- Haunted Adventure is just one of several spooky adventure games.
- Halloween Feel The Pressure is a spin-off of Feel The Pressure with a Halloween twist. You must answer questions based on a letter of the alphabet. You need 10 correct answers in a row to "save your soul."
Play Halloween music
It's as easy as asking Alexa to play Halloween Music!
Play spooky sounds
Here are the different spooky sounds you can request according to CNET (directly quoted):
- Spooky Halloween Sounds will play a continuous loop of spooky sounds until you tell Alexa to stop. It's fantastic.
- Spooky Sounds from SayGoodMorning.org plays 50 minutes of original spooky sounds (in a continuous loop), complete with an audio easter egg hidden within.
- Spooky Scream, on the other hand, will play a random scream after a set time. Say, "Alexa ask Spooky Scream to start in five minutes." Turn up the volume and wait for your unknowing victim to fall right into your trap.
Tell scary stories
First you have to enable the Boo Bot Skill, then you can ask Boo Bot to tell a scary story!
Get costume ideas
If you still haven't found a costume this weekend, Alexa will be happy to give you ideas!
