If you are a fan of Choose Your Own Adventure books and stories you may be interested to know that Amazon has partnered with ChooseCo to bring the Choose Your Own Adventure: An Immersive Audible Experience to Alexa.
The new Alexa skill Allows you to interact with the audiobooks which take the form of the Abominable Snowman or Journey Under the Sea at the current time. When it’s time to make a decision, the familiar Alexa prompt will beep.
The new Alexa skill will work with any Echo and Alexa-enabled smart speaker. “To start, simply say “Alexa, open Choose Your Own Adventure from Audible” to enable the skill on your Echo device. Since it’s considered a skill for kids, you’ll be prompted to provide permission for it. You’ll then be instructed to choose between two titles: the Abominable Snowman or Journey Under the Sea.”
