ok, question... why this game? there are so many games that I like but need to be accessible. just saying.
who created this? Thanks for this cuz all my sited friends are talking about it and I'm like, I want it but... it's not accessible for me.
Hey, whatever gets blind people - and everyone else - out and exploring their environment. Just don't be poke stopping at my house.
haha
This game has absolutely exploded world wide.
Cool.
I think it be difficult for a blind person to play without a partner though.
true. I've heard it's dangerous. it's just me though.
Oh, I don't think dangerous. That is up to the players how much risk they will take.
Does anyone know the progressof this app in terms of accessibility?
I do not know how the progression of this app is but I am pretty sure you can look it up on line.
I'd rather sign a petition demanding that every popular craze and everything that goes viral is made so inaccessible that no blind person shall ever be able to use it, no matter how good accessibility software becomes.
Or or, you could just let people excersize their self control to not give into the craze.
Seriously though, no idea about the status of accessibility here. In the meantime, there is Zombies! Run!, which actually lo9oks a lot more interesting than its name implies. Seems like professional sounding audio drama mixed with running/training simulator. All the exploration without any ... poke...stops. And you get excersize.
This game would simply be hard to play if you can't see.
If you have a guy, sure, you can do it, but alone no.
Even seeing people get lost, walk out in to traffic, run in to parking meters, you name it.
It hurts.
Laughing.
A GPS unit gives you were you are, but not what it in the way.
A lady was driving in a fog. She followed the GPS directions, and drove right down a boat slip in to a lake.
The place she wanted to go was on the lake shore, just not exactly at that spot.
Laughing.
Lucky she could swim, but her car was lost.
So, this game would simply be to difficult.
You have to go where directed and that could be the middle of a field or something.
yup, definitely dangerous! lol, manamon, wayyy better then this crap. :p
