Category Guessing Alexa Game

Category Game Alexa Skill

What does this app do?

Category Game is a word game where you need to guess the category or theme that the words share.

• The app will give you three words, you need to guess the category that they share. The categories will be fairly broad, and will be one word, such as: metals, plants, or containers. I can repeat the category words at any time during the game, simply say 'repeat the words'.

Ok, so how do I interact with Category Game?

HOW TO PLAY:

• You: "Alexa, open category game"
• Alexa: "Welcome...do you want to play a game?"
• You: "Yes"
• Alexa: "Here are your words: covey, grouse, jackdaw
• You: "are these cities?"
• Alexa: "cities is not it. The category starts with the letter b. Try guessing another category."
• You: "repeat the words"
• Alexa: "Here are the words again: covey, grouse, jackdaw. Try guessing another category"
• You: "birds"
• Alexa: "birds is exactly right! in only 2 guesses ...Would you like to play again?

And so on...

If you're very close to the target word, but not an exact match, I may also give it to you.
