Game Show

Game Show Alexa Skill

An Alexa skill for the Amazon Echo – it plays a game show! Content is retrieved from jService, a service with 156,800 trivia questions.

Example phrases:

• Alexa, play Game Show
• Alexa, ask Game Show for a question
• Alexa, ask Game Show to start

How it works

The project is written in ES2015 and compiled to ES5 compatible JavaScript so that it can run on AWS Lambda. It reacts to voice intents sent from the Amazon Alexa Skills Kit, calls the jService API, builds a voice response and sends it back to the Echo. The player is asked for answers to questions, after they've answered they're told if they were correct and the question and answer is sent to the Alexa app.
