You can now play several new Google Nest games

Google is turning its smart displays into fun gaming machines with the release of a bunch of new Nest games. If you're looking for a new platform to play games on, the Nest might just be the device for you.

New Google Nest games you can play

Google Nest smart displays already had a few simple games. These included the full suite of voice games available on Google's smart speakers. However, new games launched by Google take advantage of the voice and touch capabilities of Nest smart displays.

For trivia fans, Google is launching Jeopardy, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and Trivia Crack. All three games work with both your voice and the touchscreen, so they're perfect Google Nest games.

If trivia isn't your thing, Google also announced Escape the Room. This new game is about exploring different locations to find hidden clues. Since most escape rooms are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, now seems like the perfect time for this game to hit the scene.

As you'd expect, there are also some upcoming Google Nest puns. For example, Google announced a game called Categories Battle. This is an exciting game where you have to create categories based on a random letter. There's also Puzzle of the Day, which offers hands-free crossword puzzle play.

If you want to try these Nest games, you have to say, "Ok Google, let's play a game."

The future of Google Nest play

While Google has announced some exciting games coming to its Nest smart display, the company has big plans for more games in the future.

In a post on The Keyword, Google says it will “work directly with top game developers to unlock more immersive experiences only possible with the unique capabilities of the Smart Display.”

Even if you don't have a Google Nest smart display, you probably own a smartphone. So here are the best mobile games you can play without data.
