5 Sports Games for Amazon Alexa
It’s not easy to find good games to play on Alexa, and it’s even harder to find Alexa sports games beyond those that give just simple facts or a quiz.
On home consoles and PC we are spoilt for choice with games series like FIFA, Football Manager, and Madden producing new titles every year and continually improving on the gameplay.
The games available for Alexa are more limited currently, but the selection and quality is getting better every month. Here is a collection of sports games to try out for a hands free voice gaming experience.
1) Super Over Cricket
Cricket is one of the most popular categories of sports games available on Alexa, and Super Over Cricket stands out for the quality of the commentary script.

In this game you analyse the field and the ball to enable your player to hit the perfect shot.
“Alexa, open Super Over Cricket”
2) Horse Race
Choose from a variety of fun horse names and listen to the commentary to see if you win the race. Includes both single player and multiplayer modes.
This Alexa horse racing game has been updated relatively frequently since launch, and even offers a paid subscription to unlock premium features.

3) Football Mania
Not to be confused with football played with a round ball, this Alexa game is inspired by the NFL.
Run, pass, and kick your way to the Football Mania Championship.
“Alexa, start Football Mania”
4) Donkey Dash
Similar in mechanic to Horse Race above, Donkey Dash is aimed at a younger audience where players roll a virtual dice to decide how fast their donkey moves.
Don’t forget the chance to use a “double up carrot” for a burst of pace at any time!
“Alexa, play Donkey Dash”
5) International Soccer Manager
Since the 1980’s soccer or football management games have been loved by fans around the world, and it was inevitable there would be a voice-controlled version available.
As the manager of an international team involved in a cup competition, you make decisions pre-match before moving onto match commentary to hear the game play out.
A refreshing throwback to early games in the genre, before the complexity of the Football Manager series took hold.
