Amazon Alexa owners are being alerted to a little-known feature which could prove a big hit in your household.

Alexa owners will already be aware of exactly how useful they can be to have around.

They can play music, remind you of upcoming appointments, set timers and even ask jokes.

However, did you also know that you can play games on your Alexa too?
