How to track your Alexa game scores
Score tracking keeps Alexa games competitive and repeatable. Here’s how to keep score simple and fun.
Use built-in scoring when available
Many Alexa games announce scores after each round or at the end of a match.
Listen for score callouts so the whole room stays in sync.
If the skill stores scores, note where to find them in the app or skill description.
Keep a simple manual log
For games without persistent scores, use a phone note or a small score sheet.
Track wins and losses rather than every question to keep things simple.
Short rounds make it easy to update scores between matches.
Make scoring part of the routine
Announce the leader after each round to keep energy high.
Rotate teams to keep competition fresh.
Short rounds make score updates quick.
Keep it friendly
Use scores to motivate, not to slow the game down.
If the group is casual, track wins only.
Fast games work best when scoring is quick.
