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
Less motion
If your phone or computer is set to reduce motion, the site drops its animations and uses simple fades.
Sound is your choice
Nothing plays until you tap, and you can switch sound off.
Keyboard and screen readers
A skip link, visible focus outlines, labelled buttons and text for every image that carries meaning.
In the games
Words on screen
In the pocket cases, every spoken line is also on screen.
No rush
The clock is for the leaderboard only. Stop any time: your progress is saved and you can pick it up another day.
Hints
Hints are there when you are stuck.
Play as a team
One phone can lead while others read, walk or solve, and team members can join with their own phones.
Routes
Town games keep to footpaths and public places. Access details are confirmed and listed on each case file before it opens.
