Some of the most natural game types for voice assistants are tabletop game simulators and choose your own adventure style stories. Therefore you can find dozens of dice games, card games, and role playing games available for Amazon Echo devices.
Below you will find a curated list of high quality voice tabletop games covering a variety of different game types. Whatever your preference there should be something here for you.
Dungeon Adventure
A detailed fantasy role-playing game with Alexa as the dungeon master.
You create a character and assign values to your character’s attributes, such as strength, dexterity, and intelligence.
You will need to purchase and sell items in the town, fight monsters, cast spells, drink potions, and collect gold during your quest to find and defeat the evil necromancer.
Dungeon Adventure is a game meant to be played over many sessions. Alexa will save your character and progress so you can return and continue at any point.
If you die you can always come back and try again with a new character and dungeon map to try a different strategy.
Starfinder
A Sci-Fi interactive adventure that oozes quality from first launch, with a professionally voice acted script and cool music and sound effects.
The production required 125 hours of studio time to record all the different story combinations, from a 700+ page script.
The first free episode takes about 30 minutes to play, with a further six stories available as paid add ons.
“But what exactly is this thing? If you tossed a podcast, an audio book, a sci-fi movie, and a role-playing game into the blender together, Starfinder is what you’d get when you poured out your concoction. The audio adventure is genuinely interactive, with the program regularly pausing as you are asked to make choices that will directly change the story.” — The Manual
Killer Six
A simple but addictive dice game where you have to decide when to secure your score and when to gamble. The real voiced host is a nice change from the standard Alexa voices and increases the production quality.
In Killer Six you will attempt to get as high a score as possible over 3 rounds by rolling a single die for as long as you dare. Rolling 1 to 5 will increase your score, but hitting a Killer Six will drop you back to zero for the round.
You can play solo to try and beat your high score, or take on another player head to head in the same room.
[Disclosure: Killer Six was developed/published by the author Pressthe8]
Desolate
There had been no communication with station 04 on the distant moon X483. A rescue mission was mounted, and you were on that ship as it lost use of its controls and crashed but meters from the station’s entrance. After the smoke cleared, you realised you were the only survivor.
You made your way into the station in hopes of finding help, only to be shocked by the horrors within. You are alone. You must escape. You must survive…
Desolate is a voice conversion of a solo-play card and dice board game. You have many choices that will ultimately equate to your survival or your demise. Explore rooms, fight aliens, open crates, and use resources wisely to avoid an untimely fate.
St. Noir
St. Noir is played on a stylish noir-themed game board, with players using the Alexa skill to interview suspects (who have the ability to lie to players), while keeping track of their investigation using beautifully designed character cards and murder weapon tokens. The identity of the killer is randomised on each play-through, which makes every new game feel fresh and unpredictable — whether playing solo or with your friends.
As the detective, gather clues and question suspects as you piece together the events on the night of the murder. Something is not adding up — and it’s up to you to discover the inconsistencies in the suspects’ stories in order to solve the case.
Note: This game was designed to be played in conjunction with a physical copy of the board game, but you can experiment with the mechanic without it.
Iron Falcon
The years of peace are over. Shocking news is pouring in from the borderlands of the Kingdom of Rivaan. An old enemy, Morghul, has regained strength, shattering the alliance with the mysterious order.
A hero is needed! A hero who will get to the bottom of things and report back to the king. But who will undertake such a dangerous mission? Why you!
The Iron Falcon is an interactive audio story suitable for both beginners as well as seasoned players of classic gamebooks. You’ll meet friends and foes, solve puzzles, fight courageous battles, and discover secrets from times past.
It surely will be a challenging adventure for a lone hero. Fortunately, you won’t be going alone on this adventure! You’ll have a loyal companion at your side, one who’ll guide your decisions and help you through difficult times.
