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.  Phrase Madness is a fully accessible phrase guessing game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play. Phrase Madness is a cross between concentration and wheel of fortune. The objective of this game is to match the beginning of a common expression with the end of the expression. For example, you would match "It's a beautiful day in the" with the ending "neighborhood". You can play up to 26 phrases at a time. After you play for a while, simply matching phrases can get boring, and that's where the madness kicks in. With over 300 phrases, you'll find new and intersting combinations pop-up when you accidentally, or intentionally, match the beginning of one phrase with the end of another phrase. For example, take the phrases, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" and, "Goodness gracious great balls of fire". These two phrases might get mixed up while you're trying to match them, and you might hear "It's a beautiful day in the fire!"
