Inspiration

We wanted to create a detective game on theme with the hackathon. We wanted to add an MLH zest to it. Hence our main characters are Frankie and TNR

What it does

It is a Google Actions game that can be played using Google Assistant. The detective game follows a storyline and takes the player on a journey.

How we built it

We built it using Google Actions in Google Cloud.

Challenges we ran into

• The whole flow of the game was tricky to create
• Google review takes a week and hence our game can be played only by the creator and could not be deployed using Firebase.
• We could not screen record with audio, as Google Assistant closes when two applications are using the mic simultaneously and hence we had to record the phone simulator from Google Actions Console

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to work our way around the Actions Console without any knowledge of how it works We managed to create the game by following the documentation which was very gratifying

What we learned

How to work our way around the Actions Console and create a Google Action for Google Assistant

What's next for Detective Frankie

The storyline can take a lot more turns. A web app integration is also in line.
