How to enable Alexa game skills
Enabling a skill should take seconds. Use these steps to enable by voice or app and start playing fast.
Step 1: Enable by voice
Use a clear voice command to enable a skill quickly: “Alexa, enable [game name].”
Wait for Alexa to confirm the skill is enabled before trying to open it.
If the name is long, ask Alexa to repeat the correct invocation.
Step 2: Enable from the app
Open the Alexa app, search for the game name, and tap Enable.
Check the skill’s description for device compatibility and required permissions.
Test the skill by saying “Alexa, open [game name].”
Step 3: Keep a short list
Too many skills slow down decisions.
Keep a short list of your favorite games.
If you stop using a game, disable it to keep your list clean.
Step 4: Troubleshoot quickly
If a skill fails, disable and re-enable it.
Use short commands and speak clearly.
Make sure the device is connected to Wi‑Fi and hears you clearly.
