On Kickstarter, Hey Robot is now being introduced as a smart speaker game for two teams that are competing to get
Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to say a specific word. In the words of the creators, "It's a bit like Codenames or Taboo, if the friend you were playing with had an encyclopedia and was also very, very drunk."
Hey Robot can be played with groups of any size and involves sets of cards that are full of words that form a grid. Teams go back and forth, trying to get "The Robot" to speak the words on the card—all without saying the words, of course. For example, trying to get The Robot to say the word "vampire" might involve asking about a creature that avoids sunlight.
