Day of the Dead and Halloween are two festivities much loved by lovers of terror and the afterlife.
Unfortunately, this year will be very different and it will not be possible to celebrate as we would have done on other occasions, but, fortunately, technology, cinema and video games could be our best allies to enjoy these terrifying and spooky times.
You could enter the world of literature with audiobooks so you don’t sleep at night, enjoy streaming movies, or die of fear with little-known first-person video games.
Now, Alexa of Amazon has wanted to join the festivities, adding functions to celebrate Day of the Dead and Halloween.
How to celebrate Day of the Dead and Halloween with Alexa
It is not the first time that Alexa decides to wear the shirt for special celebrations with users. In fact, Amazon’s smart assistant celebrated the Scream with fun commands.
Now, the company behind Alexa, shared a statement announcing that users will be able to ask many questions. For example, if you don’t know what to dress up as, Alexa could help you with a few options.
You can tell it the following commands:
- Alexa, tell me a celebrity skull.
- Alexa, let’s imagine a trip to the Day of the Dead together.
- Alexa, how do I put my offering?
- Alexa, give me the recipe for pan de muerto.
- Alexa, why is the Day of the Dead celebrated?
- Alexa, what is cempasuchil?
- Alexa, speak like a witch.
- Alexa, scare me.
- Alexa, tell me the rules for surviving a zombie attack.
- Alexa, tell me a horror micro-story.
- Alexa, open original stories.
In addition, if you have smart lights connected to your assistant, you can ask him to turn off the lights or change color so that your home looks terrifying and themed for these dates.
Without a doubt, it is an excellent option to celebrate and not have to leave home.
