Zoom games? (self.Blind)
submitted by PoutineFest
A lot of people these days are using Zoom to get together and play games; What are some games we can play to include a blind friend as well?

(Sorry if this has already been asked, I searched and haven't found anything- if there is a previous post out there, please point me in the right direction. Thanks)

I haven't played many, but one is jackbox.tv. You hang out on Zoom while you all play this game. I've heard recently that it's accessibility has been improved. There are a selection of games to choose from, and some are better than others.

I've played the newest Jackbox party pack, and while I do not know what the functionality is with screen readers, the person hosting can press a button to read out the room code. The game length I think can also be extended for I assume typing with voice over.

In terms of accessible games, there is quiplash again, so I would assume the same level of accessibility. The final quip is the same, which is you have to answer a question in 3 parts. No Comic Lash this time around.

Devil and the Details is a cooperative game where you do mini tasks such as swiping, tapping, do nothing, or spin in either a clockwise or coutnerclockwise pattern. I would have to try to play this one with screen reader to see how accessibile it is.

Theres a drawing game where you are tasked with drawing a champion of some title and your opponent draws its nemesis and you go head to head with others.

Talking Points is where you make speech topics for others to make. You pick one yourself and another player designs a power point for you to go along with it. I don't know how accessible this is and if it will tell you what the pictures are as it goes Start -Text - Picture - Text -Picture - Text - Picture - end

Blather round is a guessing game where you have to describe a person, story, thing but with weirdly worded sentences. There is a lot of guessing, as some players might shoot off several answers, so it might not be as easily accessible, but it does used a screen reader to read out some choices. I haven't seen anything that would repeat the last spoken sentence.

Yes, this one is great. I used to play Quiplash with friends all the time.
