Opened with "Mr. Allen's Investigation", this one's as weird as all the rest. Happy sleuthing

Hmmm. Not the best skill we've ever covered, but we're faithfully following our who dunnit theme to uncover culprits of the most dastardly of crimes… murder!

Simply opened with "Mrs. White", I've a feeling that, contrary to the skill description, this skill requires the board game that may or may not be called Clue/Cluedo wherever you are. ---- Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Mentioned in this week's A-lady newsletter from Amazon. Queen Trivia Challenge is packed full of trivia questions including clips from their greatest hits, documentaries, and live performances.

Did you know that there's a secret sensor in your Echo? In some Echos at least - and it's cool. In fact, it can tell you just how cool (or hot) it is. ---- Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

Did you know that your Echo can now have a completely different identity? (In The States, at least.) Champ of the show, David Ward did and brings us the low-down. Know that you should also be able to say "A-lady/Z-gent, change your voice" but I think the wake-word still needs to be tweaked within the app. ---- Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

A slightly odd skill that takes absolutely no skill whatsoever. And where do geese come in?

Last covered nearly 400 episodes ago and by that fab skill developer @DrewCosgrove, today's skill has great game play and superb sound-effects.---- Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com

This is a light version of that classic text adventure game Zork and with a different mission. Enjoy those dark and dangerous caves

Good as games go, but strickingly short of sound-effects for something that includes the option of in-skill purchases

You can now get your Echo to explain all of her various colour notifications. Here’s what they mean: Yellow - This means that she has a new notification, or a reminder you haven’t responded to. Say, "What are my notifications?" or "What are my messages?" Blue - A circling blue light means she’s listening. If you’re speaking and you don’t see the light, speak louder or check your power source. Red - Solid red means the mic is muted and she cannot hear you. To turn the microphone back on, press the on/off mic button on your Echo. Green - This colour shows when you’re receiving a call, or a Drop In on Echo Show. Purple - This means the device is on the Do Not Disturb setting. You’ll also see a crescent moon in the upper left corner of an Echo Show. You can enable or disabled this by voice or set up a schedule via the app. Note that, if enabled by voice and not turned off again, it is automatically disabled at midnight. ---- Feedback, comments, demos pleas to ✉️ thedottodotpodcast@gmail.com
