'When in Rome' is the name of an innovative trivia board game from a start-up called Sensible Object that introduces an entirely new form of gameplay with Amazon Alexa.
While there are many trivia board games that are centered around players answering a variety of questions, When in Rome takes a different approach to this concept by integrating a smart speaker as an integral part of the experience. During gameplay, Amazon Alexa's role is to keep track of interactions, the score and share trivia questions from locals across 20 cities around the world. The aim of When in Rome is for a player to make their journey around the world the fastest.
When in Rome is reportedly one of six new games of this style that will be introduced by Sensible Object.
