Accessibility

The site itself

• Every page can be reached with the keyboard alone, and a “Skip to content” link jumps past the menus.
• Keyboard focus is shown with a bright outline on every link, button and field.
• Pages use real headings and landmarks, so a screen reader can move by heading or region.
• Buttons and links have text labels; images that carry no information are hidden from screen readers.
• Nothing flashes or strobes, and if your system asks for reduced motion, the site’s own animations stop.
• Text can be zoomed in the browser, and the layout works on a phone in one hand.

The games

The games are visual and most of them are played in real time, so they cannot be finished with a screen reader and they do ask for quick reactions. That is the honest limit of what is here today. Within that, we try to leave choices open:

• Every game can be played with a keyboard, and every game can be played by touch.
• Tilt steering is optional. The 📱 Tilt / ◀▶ Buttons switch above a game turns it off, and the ◔ ◑ ◕ button sets how far you have to lean — useful if holding a phone steady is hard.
• Sound can be switched off in every game, and no game needs sound to be played.
• The puzzle and card games have no timer pressure: Sudoku, Minefield, Reversi, Klondike, Merge Numbers and the word puzzle wait for you.
• Fullscreen makes the board as large as the screen allows.

Known gaps

• Game boards are drawn on a canvas, so their contents are not exposed to screen readers; each game has a text description of what it is and how it is played.
• Some game text is small on a phone, and canvas text does not grow with the browser’s font size setting.
• Colour is sometimes part of the information in a game (car, disc or tile colours), alongside shape and position.
• Motion in the driving and runner games can be strong; reduced-motion settings do not slow a game down.

Standards

We aim at the WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines for the pages around the games — navigation, game pages, the FAQ and these legal pages. We have not had an outside audit, and the gaps above are places where a game itself falls short of that aim. This page is updated as things change.

Telling us about a problem

If something here blocks you, we want to know, and we will fix what we can. There is no contact address on the site yet — until there is, the FAQ covers the settings that solve the most common problems, and the What’s new page lists control and usability changes as they land.
