So you’ve just unboxed your Google Home device, and you’ve discovered that it’s great for setting timers, playing music and checking the weather.

But did you know that there’s a bunch of great games you can play on the device too?

As voice-game developers, we spend a lot of time playing games, so we’ve put together a list of the best games you should check out (plus shamelessly including some of our own!)

True or False

True or False, Coca-Cola was originally green?

Puzzle Room

Love escape rooms? Puzzle Room will teleport you to a room where you need to search for clues and items in order to solve the puzzle and escape. It’s fun for kids and adults, but will definitely appeal more to a younger audience.  

It does a good job of understanding your answers and commands, and it has a good variety of rooms.

There are 9 different sports - all with different math problems to solve. For example, in the sprinting you have to answer as many addition questions as quickly as you can to win the race. You can compete with up to three others too.
