Playing with different needs

What the site and the games do to make playing easier, and the access details for each game as they are confirmed.

On this website

Reduced motion

If your phone or computer is set to reduce motion, the site drops its animations and uses simple fades.

Audio off

Nothing plays until you tap, and you can switch sound off.

Screen reader

A skip link, visible focus outlines, labelled buttons and text for every image that carries meaning.

Captions

In the pocket cases, every spoken line is also on screen.

Save and resume

The clock is for the leaderboard only. Stop any time: your progress is saved and you can pick it up another day.

Help on hand

Hints are there when you are stuck.

Team play

One phone can lead while others read and solve, and team members can join with their own phones.

Calm

Switch on Calm mode when a game starts: no flashing, and gentler motion.
