Commute games for Alexa
Commute games should be quick, voice-first, and easy to play without a screen. Focus on short prompts, simple answers, and low distraction.
Safety first for commuting
If someone is driving, they should not answer or manage the game.
Keep play hands-free and short, and avoid anything that needs a screen.
Passengers can lead the game while the driver focuses on the road.
Best formats for commutes
Twenty Questions works well because prompts are simple and repeatable.
Would You Rather keeps it social with easy choices.
Word association rounds are fast and keep attention light.
Keep the pace light
Choose games that let you pause or skip a prompt quickly.
Keep sessions under five minutes to avoid fatigue.
If traffic gets busy, pause and resume later.
Setup tips for in-car Alexa
Place the microphone where it can hear passengers clearly.
Lower the volume so prompts stay audible but not distracting.
Avoid overlapping voices; one person should answer per prompt.
