Verdict
Beach tycoon, a voice-first gaming treat developed by Stebhan Rebhan is a memorable reminder of the Theme Park on the 3DO video game system. The Alexa skill, crafted as a real-time construction game offers users the ability to turn a small beach into a lucrative tourist magnet by attracting a horde of customers. Fundamentally, the crux of the gameplay aims at urging players to think carefully and make the right investments and financial decisions to scale the ranking of the beach to the very top.
The voice skill is focused on inspiring players to learn the basics of money management but with the aid of an innovative, one of a kind voice experience. This exciting Alexa app that is hinged on the idea to educate users in an entertaining way is all about investing the seed money to grow business and reinvest profits to expand the beach business exponentially. Beach Tycoon skill accelerates the creative rush of users to transform a small beach into a hip beach oasis. To primarily serve this purpose players are entrusted with 2000 coins at the very start of the skill. With the money, users can do many things to attract visitors like adding more chairs to the beach, organising events, selling ice creams etc. To regenerate funds, users can use the coins from the beach entrance fee in addition to the money earned by selling ice cream and organizing events. The additional perks include the support of three employees to help avid players climb the ladder of success and become a top manager. The three employees, namely Frank, Luigi and Carmen provide assistance to invest in buildings and beach chairs, take care of the ice cream sales, and organize beach events respectively. To ramp up sales and attract more visitors, users are endowed with the option to make In-Skill purchases of a cleaning robot to maintain the cleanliness of the beach or opt for a full version to unlock the full functionality of My Beach to gain access to the rest of the buildings. To top it all, the skill not only efficiently guides the conversation but also presents users with a robust, well-rounded help section to render ease of navigation throughout the conversation.
