Dot to Dot - the daily 5min Alexa demo show

Today's demo is also by Stoked Skills. I would say that Word Wiz is well worth a whizz if you're a worthy wiz with words.

Stoked Skills have no less than 34 skills in the UK store including 'Escape the Room' and 'Escape the Airplane' and, it must be said, no less than 3 separate skills to make the A-lady summon up spectacular sounds of gaseous eruptions. Today's is a classic escape room skill with a tragic (and belated) festive twist.

Join Patrick Steggle ([email protected]) as he guesses a random assortment of animals (although a battery of other categories may be included). Thanks Patrick.

Today's skill is a cut above your average trivia quiz. First link it to your Amazon account (best to both enable and then do this linking via the skill store) and then answer away against a range of awesome adversaries across the world!

Today we're fortunate enough to have a new contributor, Drew Cosgrove, bringing us a demo of his excellent skill; Space Express. Drew currently has no fewer than 26 skills in the UK skillstore - including The Daily Prohet, all the '… Letters' skills (like Harry Potter Letters, Animal Letters etc), as well as all those great '… Feel the Pressure' skills (such as 70s/80s/90s Feel the Pressure, Halloween Feel the Pressure and Hollywood Feel the Pressure etc) many of which we've covered in previous episodes. Phew! Drew welcomes feedback on all his skills, plus suggestions for any future skills you'd like to see, so please get in touch with him via [email protected] or by @DrewCosgrove on the Twitters.

Firstly, we ask the A-lady to serve up some strange scientific titbits and then we follow up with some completely unrelated, but very relaxing, make-over music. Enabled and opened with "Spa Music", fire up this skill and get out the facemask mudpack and slap it on.

Invoked with "First Last", and just like Word Chain, today's skill asks us to string together words in a given category where each starts with the last letter of the previous word. Fiendish. Patrick Steggle ([email protected]) demos what it's all about.

Today's skill is by Voxogenic Technologies PVT who, get this, have no less than 116 skills in the UK store. Opened with "Odd One Out", this skill is a nice workout for the old noggin with some snazzy interstitial sound-effects too.

Both by the same developer, Adarsh Kumar, today's two skil demos are nothing more than a sneaky vehicle by which I can tenuously link to telling you a couple of awful flamingo-related jokes. Apologies.

An extra episode today to clarify one aspect of setting up additional family members' voice profiles. In a nutshell, they need to log out and back in again if they already have the app on their phone and they're logged in to the family Amazon account. On logging back in they would choose 'I'm someone else'.
