Hands-On ! Play Twilio Quest dev game and explore Twilio APIs the fun way
summary
Shows a playable Twilio Quest walkthrough that builds real artifacts: a TwiML Bin hello + language=fr + Alice voice that answers calls, a looped prompt and hosted audio asset that plays music, a gather DTMF → say {{Digits}} flow that captures keypad input, and an SMS-to-call pipeline that uses a webhook to list unique senders and SMS webhook lists unique senders → initiate call. Demos run live with minor hiccups; everything is reproducible in the Twilio console or Functions using the free trial credits.
