Easter eggs areunexpected or hidden featuresin software, such as theflight simulatorthat was hidden inside some versions of Microsoft Excel. While Alexa might not have its own flight simulator, it does have some fairly amusing replies that cover everything from Alexa’s own feelings to classic pop culture references.

Q: How can I find my own Alexa Easter eggs?
If you want to discover some Easter Eggs by yourself, you may ask Alexa for a hard-boiled Easter egg. She will then give you a clue about something you can ask her that will generate an Easter egg response. Some of the clues are quite challenging, however, so you may need to do some research. Some Easter eggs are also region-specific.
Q: Does Alexa always give the same response?
No, not at all. Many of the Easter eggs on this list will generate several different responses. It’s definitely worth trying out some of your favorite Easter eggs from this list to see if you may find an even funnier response than the ones listed above.
Q: Are Alexa Easter eggs generated by AI?
Alexa’s Easter eggs are not currently AI-generated. Alexa is getting some useful AI features, but these are yet to be released. This means that all the Easter eggs in this list have been created by honest-to-goodness humans and added to Alexa’s responses manually. In the future, however, Alexa may be able to automatically generate its own funny responses using the power of generative AI.
