Dot to Dot - the daily 5min Alexa demo show

If you like your Christmas movies, then you'll love this festive feast of Christmas questions. Today's topic will really have you reaching for the remote and a mince pie and settling in for a night of Christmas classics.

Hmmmm - even though today's skill has sound-effects galore it's still a bit of a weird one and perhaps not everyone's cup of tea. See what you think. If you like emoji (and perhaps fighting) you will probably want to give this one a go.

Today's episode is probably, no definitely, the worst and most frustrating skill demo yet - and that's saying something! So with that due warning please check out today's skill that's very similar to the Mastermind one we looked at a few days ago, but here you also get additional info about correct numbers that are in the wrong position. You'll see what I mean - and then wish you hadn't. I know you can record a better skill demo than this so please do so and send it to me at [email protected]. Please also don't forget to use #DTDPod to tell everyone how frustrating today's episode was.

Yikes - I get into hot water in this choose-your-own-audio-adventure-game today! Moray eels and sharks galore. But don't worry - extreme attitude in the face of adversity saves the day.

It's your classic Snakes and Ladders game played against the A-lady or else up to three friends. If you fall foul of a snake when landing on square 99 then please be gentle with your Echo.

To random fact generating skills today but with a suitably festive theme. Did you know that Rudolph was an interloper or that Santa would have to visit 822 houses a second to get round to everyone on Christmas Eve? This is quality stuff!

Take careful aim, choose the strength of your kick and any fancy tricks you want to try to incorporate into your shot, and then just give it some welly. See if you can get more than 1 out of 5...

Do you remember this game by the same name from waaaaay back? There was a plastic board, coloured pegs to show your guessed sequence, and white pegs for the other guy to score your attempt to get it right. Oh those were the days...

This is a simple skill that brings a timed dose of ambient relaxation. Set your timer and deep-dive into the lapping ocean surf or just lay back under the rainforest's all-embracing canopy. Mmmmmmmm. All you need is a double dark-chocolate Bounty bar and this would be perfection.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the height, weight, eye-colour, length and maximum velocity etc of characters, vehicles and planets that populate the Star Wars universe are found in today's skill. OK, stricktly speaking it won't give Han Solos maximum velocity or the Millenium Falcon's eye-colour, but, just like Luke when he toppled unconscious from his Tauntaun into the snow, you can't help but get the drift.
