The Highest and Most Rated Amazon Alexa Games
1. JEOPARDY
Here’s one of the first major Alexa games to be released. Jeopardy has been on the air for over thirty years now and there’s a “secret sixth clue” to every category. You can find them by playing this Alexa game. An update to this game is Double Jeopardy where you get another six clues every week day. Double Jeopardy is free for Prime members or $1.99/month for non Prime members.
“Much continued fun playing this each week… many thanks for Double Jeopardy and Catch Up Play!”
2. TWENTY QUESTIONS
After Jeopardy the Twenty Questions game is next on the list for most reviews. Over twenty thousand reviews averaging 4 stars. So it’s worth a try for sure!
In this game you’ll think of something from one of these categories: vegetables, minerals, animals, or music.
Alexa will try to guess what you’re thinking of by asking a series of 20 questions. You’ll answer her each time seeing if she can end up guessing it correctly.
“This is one of my favorite Alexa skills. It’s well done, Alexa does a pretty good job guessing, and she even talks a little trash. :)”
3. QUESTION OF THE DAY
This Alexa game skill is very highly rated (currently one of the highest of all) and has over 3 million players from all over the world!
Each day you’ll get a new question to answer from a range of interesting categories. Earn points from correct answers and see how your knowledge stacks up against other players.
“In an era of busy schedules, this is the one skill I take the time to play every single day. If right, I feel good and if wrong, data provided about the right answer enables learning. I love the skill for adults and about 10ish up. Even my younger grandchildren enjoy playing with the older generation and look forward to trying again the next day. This is a good family skill to enable and enjoy.”
4. SONG QUIZ
Test your brain power with songs from the 2000s, 1990s, 1980s, 1970s and 1960s. You’ll hear about 10 seconds of a song and you have to name the artist and song title for full points. Answering only title or artist gets you half points. A fun feature is being able to play against other people’s scores from around the country. Not only does this game have over 10,000 reviews, but at the time of this post it averages 5 stars! Definitely one of the best Alexa game skills right now.

5. Either Or (Previously Would You Rather For Family)

This family edition is multiplayer and also has premium, special edition questions (Like Superheroes and Disney) that you can purchase in game. (Note, this used to be called, “Would You Rather, For Family”)
“Love this app! Played with my 13 year old and 19 year old. We had so much fun and it encouraged conversations about our answers!!”
6. PRICE IT RIGHT
An ode to the classic Price is Right game where you have to guess the most accurate price for items for sale on Amazon.com. Simple idea but a really fun time! Who knows they may even decide to reward players with gift cards again.
“What an AWESOME game. I love that I can play against other people all over the world!!”
7. Trivia Battle
In Trivia Battle, you’ll be asked a series of questions from a variety of categories like Science, Sports and General Trivia. The difference with this game though, is that you’re trying to score points for the US state that you live in. There’s eight new questions every day and each correct answer goes towards the State leaderboard. You can also purchase extra questions to help move your State up in national standings.
“I love playing against other states. Az is moving up the tally board fast.”
8. Popcorn Tycoon
Popcorn Tycoon is certainly the strangest Alexa game on the list but it works! In this unique game you’re trying to pop as many kernels of popcorn as you can. Yep, really.
The more popcorn you pop, the more you can trade for more pans and equipment. Additionally, you can purchase even more equipment with real money to outpace other players.

The fourth official Alexa skill on the list is surprisingly not rated that high due to some problems with it working at times, and we’re assuming it’s also because these skills aren’t fully free. You can only access so much before having to purchase more stories.
It’s worth a try though – you and your children can enjoy 4 different stories for free: Lion King, Monsters Inc., Disney Princess and a story about Minnie Mouse.
