STOCKHOLM, Nov. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Swedish mobile
developer and publisher MAG Interactive today announced that their
hit trivia game Quiz Duel, Germany's largest mobile trivia app with over
1 million daily users, is now available on Amazon Echo in
Germany. Quiz Duel players can challenge their
friends and other players in the first real multiplayer trivia
experience for Amazon's cloud-based voice
service, Alexa, in Germany and Austria. Germany is a major focus for voice assistant
technology and German was Alexa's first foreign language.
"The number of smart speaker users is growing at a compound
annual growth rate of almost 50%. That's faster than any tech
product since the smartphone. We believe that voice control will
become an increasingly important interface for games in the
future," says MAG Interactive's CEO Daniel
Hasselberg. "As trivia games work particularly well in this
context, we are excited to collaborate with the market leader
Amazon in bringing our evergreen franchise Quiz
Duel to Amazon's Alexa and, thus, offer multi channel
access to our brand and content."
With more than 35,000 questions from different categories and
more added daily, Quiz Duel on Amazon Echo
provides a brand new way of playing trivia using a voice system.
From today, German-speaking players can switch at any time between
the smartphone app and the Alexa Skill, keeping their previous
statistics. Through the Alexa Skill, players can also receive
notifications, continue their games or start new duels.
As the holiday shopping season approaches, voice-powered smart
speakers are again expected to become big sellers in Germany, adding to the millions of Germans
that already own a smart speaker. One in eight Germans (roughly 13
percent) already owns and uses a voice assistant. (1) 43% of
smart speaker users agree that they "can't imagine living without"
one. (2) The global number of installed smart speakers is
going to more than double to 225 million units in two years, says
Canalys. (3)
