Google Home's secret superpower: It's really good for playing games - CNET

Bet you didn't know your Google Home smart speaker or display doubles as a casual game console, too.

But maybe the coolest thing you can do with your Google Home smart speaker or display is play games with it.

For more traditional trivia game on either a speaker or display, just say, "Hey, Google, talk to Trivia Crack." .

If you have a Nest smart screen and some idle time on your hands, try out one or more of these great visual games (just say, "Hey, Google, talk to..."):?

If you fancy yourself an armchair sleuth, say, "Hey, Google, talk to Sherlock Mysteries." For fans of the Netflix series, "Hey, Google, talk to Dustin from Stranger Things" combines trivia with a mystery adventure game for an immersive adventure game experience. .

Longer games are best played through a Google Home display like the Nest Hub or Nest Hub Max (the Google Home app works too), so you can read the text and better understand what's happening. .
