Many of us have an Amazon Echo in our homes, but this retro code activates a new mode.
It's all thanks to a TikTok user who shared the news that there's a secret cheat code to activate "Super Alexa".
Meg, also known as @jiggywrigglersfareham, was the one to share the code.
When you give Alexa the code, it activates 'Super Mode.'
Many people responded with videos of them giving it a try too.
Others found they didn't even need to write down the code and read it themselves as just playing the video with Alexa nearby set it off.
"My Alexa said I got new powerups [sic]," said one user.
"I done it and got so scared" added another.
One excited commenter added: "It worked on mine, she said 'woohoo power up'".
"That triggered my Alexa omg she was like: super Alexa mode," they exclaimed.
The code in question is called the Konami Code, and features a sequence of button presses made famous by classic gaming controls.
It's a proper throwback from the 1980s.
The code also works with iPhone's Siri, who responds with “nerd” or “I’m getting dizzy”.
Alexa has a series of different responses, including “woo hoo, power up galore” and “wrong code, try again”.
If you want to try, the code is: “Alexa, Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start”.
