# Voice-Controlled Murder Mysteries 'The Wayne Investigation' is a Batman Story Told Through Alexa By Joey Haar | Published 2017-02-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wayne-investigation References: [alexaskillstore](https://www.alexaskillstore.com/The-Wayne-Investigation/635) & [amazon](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C9AX5VY?ref=skillrw_dsk_fav_gw_4&tag=trenhunt0f-20) Warner Bros' 'The Wayne Investigation' is an immersive and creative use of [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owl-dragon-a-magical-adventure) Alexa's skills. The Alexa-based murder mystery takes players on a journey through the mean street of Gotham to find out who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne, Bruce Wayne's (AKA Batman's) parents. The new Alexa skill gives users complete control over the [choose-you-own-adventure narrative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neverending-stories). After opening The Wayne Investigation through the standard open command, a narrator will begin the tale of the investigation, complete with sound effects, characters played by professional voice actors, and plenty of action. The Alexa Skills Store suggests parental guidance for kids playing The Wayne Investigation. That said, consumer reviews for the skill indicate that the game is just as immersive for adults as it is for children, making the [murder mystery game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmas-of-dark-stories) a great family experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Voice-controlled Interactive Stories:** Creating immersive and interactive stories using voice-controlled technology like Amazon Alexa presents opportunities for engaging entertainment experiences. - **Choose-your-own-adventure Games:** Developing choose-your-own-adventure games through voice assistants like Amazon Alexa allows for personalized and dynamic storytelling. - **Narrative-driven Voice Skills:** Leveraging voice platforms like Amazon Alexa to deliver narrative-driven experiences with professional voice actors opens up new possibilities in storytelling. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore voice-controlled murder mysteries and choose-your-own-adventure games to captivate audiences with interactive storytelling. - **Technology:** Voice-controlled narratives offer opportunities for innovation in the technology industry by creating engaging experiences using voice assistant platforms like Amazon Alexa. - **Gaming:** The gaming industry can tap into voice-controlled interactive stories to create immersive and personalized gaming experiences for players. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive AI Audio Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owl-dragon-a-magical-adventure.md) - [Voice-Activated Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readyland.md) - [AI-Generated Childrens Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazons-create.md) - [Fairytale Mystery Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fairytale-files-interactive-murder-mysteries.md) - [Holiday Murder Mystery Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masters-of-mystery.md) - [AI-Powered Choose-Your-Own Adventure Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playbrary-gpt.md) - [Multimedia Treasure Hunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madoks-interactive-treasure-hunt.md) - [Interactive AI Reading Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ask-this-book.md) - [Voice Assistant Christmas Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hey-santa-feature.md)
