Inspiration

Christmas is a festival when families come together. However, the celebration this year is a bit tricky due to COVID-19. Considering how new variants of the COVID-19 are being formed, a lot of countries have advised people to stay at home, but it shouldn't stop you from having fun with your family. Inspired by the traditional Christmas party game "Name that Carol", and to bring the spirit of togetherness, we would like to build a digital version of it.

What it does

Play "Name that Carol" with the Carolbot via Google assistant.

How we built it

  • Front-end development using html, css and javascript

  • Storage using Firebase

  • Game development using Google assistant action builder

Testing

Ping us to be added as beta tester:)

Challenges we ran into

Time is a challenge on a Festive weekend ;D

Our initial plan is to use Dialogflow to build the bot, and Firebase to store audio files. However, we faced some challenges in getting the bot to play music. Later we switched to Google assistant and it worked nicely:)

We have also tried to add the interactive canvas, unfortunately, it broke the functional prototype and we had to revert changes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We built a digital version of Name that Carol (in a short span of time!)

What we learned

We learnt a lot about chatbot development

What's next for Name that Carol
