## What is Blindfold Solitaire?

Blindfold Games are entertainment apps provided as a service to the visually impaired community by Objective Ed.  Your in-app upgrades pay for the development and support of these games. 

Solitaire is a fully accessible Solitaire card game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play.  

Solitaire includes Klondike 3, the typical game of solitaire where you build all four suits from ace to king in separate piles, and 28 cards are dealt into seven piles on the tableau, where the first pile contains 1 card, the second pile has  two cards with only the top card showing, the third pile has 3 cards with only the top card showing and so on.  Each time you draw from the deck, you get 3 more cards.

The cards are not visible; instead, you play by listening.  You can flick left or right, or up or down, to hear the cards.  You move a card from one pile to another by tapping on the screen twice to start the move, and then tapping twice again to complete the move.  A complete guide to the gestures is included in the help.

Solitaire tells you if a card can be moved to the foundation piles, and can be set to move the cards automatically.  You can customize the game to your liking: how much extra information is spoken and how quickly it is spoken.

There is a STARTER PACK in-app upgrade that unlocks all settings features, and gives you a second Solitaire game:  Klondike 1 (where you get 1 card at a time instead of 3 cards at a time), an in-app upgrade for several variants of Spider Solitaire, an in-app upgrade for several variants of Free Cell, an in-app upgrade for several variants of Golf Solitaire, and an in-app upgrade for several variants of Addition Solitaire, and another in-app upgrade for 6 more difficult variants of Free Cell.  We'll be adding more Solitaire games as in-app upgrades.

### 1/5 — Not worth your time

*2025-12-28*

This app is never updated, and issues are never addressed. Developer completely ignores. Any suggestions regarding updates and bug fixes. Ever since I have upgraded to iOS 26 the game crashes more often than not.

### 2/5 — Used to work well

*2025-10-11*

I have enjoyed this game in the past, but recently it stops the voice during gameplay. This has left me quite frustrated, as closing the game and resuming puts me 10+ moves before the sound gave up. Only 1 in about 20 games can be completed due to this error.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-01-07*

I’m testing this game for a blind relative, and the very first thing that pops up is a box with tiny text explaining what to do. The only thing I can get out of the voice assistance is a plea to spend money to play.

### 5/5 — Need to explain how to use the games.

*2020-10-13, version 2.5.3*

Need to use the rotor and turn on the direct touch area.

### 3/5 — Blindfold solitaire review

*2019-05-09, version 2.5.0*

It’s way too hard. I can’t seem to get it figured out and it’s too hard.

### 5/5 — Life would be somewhat boring without these Blindfold apps

*2016-04-05*

I am a completely blind 21-year-old who attends a college university and I can't explain how much these games help me stay entertained during my breaks. Not only during my breaks, but whenever I have free time! Blindfold Games have change my life and I'm so grateful for the people who created these apps. I've been sad and discouraged with how most game apps aren't accessible with voiceover, but Blindfold Games is nothing less than absolutely amazing!!! Thank you guys!!!

### 5/5 — great and thanks

*2016-01-31*

Blindfold Solitaire is great.

This is the first time I've played 2deck Free Cell.

The default speech rate is great for learning the game; now I'm ready for a speech rate a little faster than the maximum superFast.

Tapping the screen in 1 of 3 sections makes it easy to focus on the foundation, free cells, and tableau without swiping, although the 2-finger swipe left works fine while learning.

Klondike works great, too, but my interest is more with Free Cell.

Here are some things on my wish list.  Note that these wishes do not suggest deficiencies, since I use Blindfold Solitaire a lot already.

Re: A few of things I'd like via my Braille Sense:
1) The card name being displayed, perhaps followed (on the braille display) by the column number, although, if putting the column number on the display would require speech, then I'd rather not have the extra speech.
2) I'd like the Braille Sense to control single-finger swipe gestures because, when I plug in my USB keyboard, using the arrow keys is much more comfortable when doing a lot of swiping.
3) Especially in 2deck Free Cell, it might be interesting to have a way to use my 32 routing keys to go to a particular card in a pile.

Next:  A few years ago I enjoyed what I think is a variant of Free Cell called Penguin, and I'd like that in this app.

Anyway, thanks for the great app of solitaire games.

### 2/5 — Please speed it up

*2015-09-04*

Update makes the game run slowly. I love it, but with it being less responsive, it's more trouble than it's worth.

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2015-08-24*

Best solitaire I have ever played.
Superbly created app.

### 5/5 — More than brilliant!

*2015-08-05*

This package of games is the best! I play at least one of these games each day and never get tired of them! Thank you for the best solitaire games ever that work seamlessly with Voice Over!
