Amazon Alexa owners are being alerted to a little-known feature which could prove a big hit in your household.
Alexa owners will already be aware of exactly how useful they can be to have around.
They can play music, remind you of upcoming appointments, set timers and even ask jokes.
However, did you also know that you can play games on your Alexa too?
It doesn’t matter if you are playing alone or with other people in your household- there is guaranteed to be a game to suit your preferences.
To play a game, simply ask Alexa to launch one of them.
To find out more about the games available, visit the Amazon website.
While all are free to download, some have premium paid options, as well as a free tier.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
