I've been playing a game called blind drive that can be found on iOS or Android. And it's a lot of fun. It's completely accessible. There is an accessibility feature on it where everything is said and it's easily navigatable you'll need some headphones or earbuds.

There are a few games such as the blind or rosemary's fate or the blind legend. All these are games that are completely accessible in app form. Is it the only ones I've found so far? If anybody has any more suggestions feel free to add. I'm always looking for more so to speak

Try itch.io for more 100% blind accessible video games! They have a whole tag for it and I’ve seen a lot of fully blind friendly games, including adventure and first person shooters!

If you read braille then the games at $1 are fully accessible to totally blind players. The offer both games designed for blind players as well as adaptations of mainstream games. We have bought about half a dozen games from them and had a lot of fun playing board games. Our favourites are Coup, Pandemic, and Exploding Kittens.

Do you know Braille?

On my bookshelf I have several Braille gadgets and gizmos, including the following:

Braille Rubik’s cube

Braille calipers, if you think measuring is fun (which I do)

Tactile graphics slate, which when used with Braille paper makes it possible to craft all sorts of stuff. I got that from APH.

Keyboard-free haptic Braille typing. Prototype quality only. I found out after making the initial version that Josh Miele had created a working version years before, but to my knowledge only as a single pair. And I think he still uses it. I’m putting my hardware to a new use soon. I have the equivalent of three two-handed sets.

Whether you know Braille or not, there are other games and diversions you may find interesting.

Metal interlocking puzzles that require twisting and turning to free the pieces. A friend of mine introduced those at a meeting of VIBUG, the Visually Impaired and Blind Users Group, which currently meets online every month. A great group.

Haptic + audio prototype apps that could be turned into games. A company called Unar Labs has some free iPhone apps that double as games and assistive tech user experience tests. The co-founder of Unar Labs is a legally blind professor who is prominent in the field of navigation.

Some custom items I’ve made:

A tactile jigsaw puzzle, which I would do quite differently next time. One friend of mine finished, another didn’t. The one who did finish it was one of those folks who can also finish a blank puzzle with no tactile differentiation. She’s totally blind.

Custom tactile maps of a building interior. Not to everyone’s taste or interest.

Various other Braille and tactile and haptic things.

If there were an interest in any combination of things I mentioned as some form of game, then I could probably arrange something with you.

You’ve got a right to have fun. I’m sure the group and I could figure some things out you’d like.

Check out the game, "The Vale: Shadow of the Crown". It's on Steam for PC and also has console versions.

It is a fantasy RPG where you play as a blind protagonist, 100% blind. The game has no visuals. Everything, even the menus, is navigated via audio.

The game is really creative and very fun. I highly recommend it.

This great post by u/NoClops will continue to get lots of comments, but I created another post to draw in anyone who may have missed this one. I for one will be bookmarking both.

They have Braille versions of scrabble that are fun!

I know the feeling. I've been blind since birth. Now 73. When I was a kid, american foundation for the blind, still worth a look, had a fantastic catalog that had lots and lots of cool stuff in it. Much of that is gone these days. There is a talking polker game written by a blind person I have on my computer. My ham call is wa0vjr, and I'm good at arrl.net. Emails throubh redit don't read very well for me. Happy searching.

If you know Braille, Check out 64oz games. They make accessibility kits for board games. All completely tactile, and the game is still playable by cited as well.

Are you much into video games? The big go to is the vale which is a lot of fun and can be played entirely through audio. Recently I picked up Stardew valley which is playable without any sight with mods. Hades can also be made accessible with a few mods, and that one can be played entirely through a gamepad, save for optical character recognition for the menus. The pool of games is quite small for us, but it’s been growing slowly over the last few years. Check out Shaysters and SightlessKombat on Twitch. They both stream games regularly and are totally blind

There are a lot of option on maxiaids. I am also totally blind but have found a lot. Probably too much for me because I am not a fun or a game person.

There’s brailled card games, braille monopoly, scrabble, dominos, and other things I found a version of topple that was pretty much accessible except the color of the pieces but otherwise the board is accessible. I’ve found accessible chess and checkers and so forth. Actually quite a bit.


I love the questions. But I have been doing a lot of representing and community work for many years and have been in and out representing for the different disabled and blind places before. What is apparently called path finders now I found out used to be called foundation for the junior blind or junior blind of america, I use to be on their flyers a long time ago. I’ve represented the school disabilities office a few times and sat on an advocacy board. Most questions are usually out of curiosity.


In fact one of the guys I sat down and brailled a braille alphabet for found it’s way back to me, I so happen to run in to him and he said. Oh I was so upset when I lost it. I gave it back to him. I said it found it’s way back to me, I thought he didn’t want it but apparently someone found it gave it to someone else who knows me. Super rewarding to do it sometimes. You meet a lot of people and you create super awareness.

So yeah, I know the questions.

What devices do you have access to? I always recommend checking out applevis for iPhone, iPad, Mac and apple watch stuff. For computer games, RSGames is a given, plus there's several audio games for the blind websites for windows games. I also recommend the Jackbox games if you have people to play with. I don't think the menus are accessible, but they're party games so you probably won't be playing them without an obligate sighted person™.

* My blind Wife and I regularly race each other on Top Speed 3, battle on SoundRTS or play at Quentin's Playroom (my sighted daughter can join in with a few of the board games there too). The first two are old but still run on modern tech.
* MUDs, often with lots of cool sound effects and music added by the community, are a worryingly-disturbing time-killer: they range from medieval to sci-fi and everything in between and work well if you are a comfortable typist. They are the online version of interactive fiction/text adventure games, which I still play on my phone if I haven't the time or inclination to be social.
* I enjoy battling my daughter on Wii sports (Tennis, baseball and bowling are all pretty doable for me: my golfing is bad).

The Last Of Us Part II is a game that is completely playable. I've been messing around with it and it's really fun. Unfortunately we can't play the first part, but hay at least we've got something.
There is also audio games made specifically for the blind but the quality varies, most of them I'd say are equivalents of video-games from the 90s / early to mid 2000s.

Try audio games.net and apple is.com.
