I took the mandate to "educate, entertain, and engage" and the recommendations in the video " How to Build Engaging Kid Skills for Alexa" very seriously. If they ever go below two dollars, they're automatically bumped up to five. The player then makes or loses money depending on the weather, the choices they've made, and behind the scenes random supply/demand simulation factors that keep the game interesting. A weather forecast is stated for a (simulated) day and then the player buys cups of lemonade to sell, buys signs for advertising, and sets a price for a cup of lemonade. This game skill simulates owning a lemonade stand. I remember having lots of fun playing the original game as a kid on my Apple II+ (dating myself!) and want to share the experience with others in a contemporary way. This version is completely redone from the ground up, enhancing but maintaining the fun and spirit of the original game for an Alexa-world. Lemonade Stand is a unique Alexa kids game skill that pays homage to one of the earliest computer games, Lemonade Stand.
