Stay updated on Telegram with latest updates from Google Home/Assistant  ecosystem.

With Halloween just around the corner, Google has unveiled some special Assistant Easter eggs relating to the most terrifying of holidays. If you’re having trouble getting in the spooky spirit, perhaps Google Assistant can help. Whether you’d prefer to hand out candy, dress like a pirate or scare yourself silly, your Google Assistant can help you get in the spooky spirit:

🤖 “Hey Google, what should I be or wear for Halloween?”

🎃 “Hey Google, get directions to the nearest pumpkin patch”

👹 “Hey Google, how do I get rid of monsters?”

🍬 “Hey Google, add Halloween candy to my shopping list”

🙀 “Hey Google, scare me”

👻 “Hey Google, let’s get spooky” (this one sets the Halloween vibe, with spooky music and flickering smart lights)

Halloween questions and commands:

• Are you celebrating Halloween?
• Boo!
• Do you know any scary stories?
• Happy Halloween
• It’s almost Halloween
• Trick or treat?
• What are you going to be for Halloween?
• Do you have any monster fighting tips?
• I want to hear something spooky / give me a Halloween sound
• Tell me a Halloween joke
