Happy Easter – delivering our favourite Amazon Alexa Easter eggs to you
Chocolate is great, but did you know that your Libratone ZIPP 2 Smart Speaker comes with its own Easter eggs, courtesy of Amazon Alexa Voice Service?
Hunting for Easter eggs is one of our favourite ways to spend the holiday. But this time, we mean hunting for Amazon Alexa Easter Eggs.
We won’t assume you all know what we mean by ‘Easter eggs’ when we talk about Amazon Alexa. So, in this sense, we don’t mean the delicious chocolate ones, but an Easter egg, in this instance, is a purposely hidden secret message or feature placed by the technology developers, (or in other Non-Alexa cases by the movie makers, computer game producers and so on) for people to find. The finding is the fun part – hence the term ‘Easter egg’ although the content is also often something humorous too, such as an inside joke.

Amazon Alexa has lots of Easter eggs for you to find and we were spoilt for choice which ones to share with you. But having asked around the Libratone office, these were some of our own favourites… We also tried them all on our ZIPP 2 smart speaker to check they were still active waiting for you to find them.
If you haven’t had the chance to enjoy the features on our ZIPP 2 smart speaker yet, or haven’t really tested Alexa, above and beyond just playing your favourite music, then this gives you a great opportunity to enjoy some fun, quality time with Alexa! As well as delivering on voice services, the ZIPP 2 and ZIPP MINI 2 also come with AirPlay 2 compatibility, 360 FullRoom® sound, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, multi-room music and up to 12 hours of battery time. Easily portable, they can be used wherever you need them - making it the ideal speaker for you home, office and even when travelling (when you might find Alexa especially useful with all her local knowledge on, well everywhere!)
