Play to remember a sequence of numbers
Alexa will greet you and give you a choice of two tracks: numbers and words. If you say "numbers" Alexa will ask you "how many numbers would you like to start with?". You can choose how many numbers you want to memorize and repeat (for example, 6). Alexa will say random numbers and then you say the numbers Alexa said in order. If you get one wrong, Alexa will decrease the amount of numbers and provide you with another random sequence.
Play to remember a sequence of words
Alexa will ask you to choose two tracks: numbers and words. If you say "words," Alexa will read a list of seven words. Then, it will say three more words and you will have to recognize and say the word that is part of the original list. If you get it right or wrong, Alexa will say three more words and you will have to say the word from the original list. This will happen 3 times regardless of whether you got the word right or wrong. Afterwards, Alexa will increase the difficulty (for example, she will read ten words), and the dynamic repeats.
It is an interactive game where Alexa gives feedback depending on the person's performance.
The sequence of numbers and words changes with each interaction.
Alexa allows to modify the difficulty, adding more numbers or words, or decreasing them.
Cons:There is not much flexibility to launch the skill, you always have to say "Alexa, open/enable/launch Staying sharp."
Alexa does not remember the score obtained in the last interactions.
If someone has speech difficulties, it would be difficult to play with this skill.
