Warner Bros' 'The Wayne Investigation' is an immersive and creative use of Amazon 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. 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 a great family experience.
