Blindfold Shape Puzzle is a fully accessible tile deduction game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play, inspired by a Windows game called LAP. The objective of the game is to identify the colors of the tiles on the board in as few moves as possible. All color groups are contiguous - in other words, there will never be a blue tile surrounded by green tiles. By determining the border between each of the color groups, you'll know the color of every tile on the board. Board sizes range from 2 by 3 to 6 by 6 to 8 by 8 to 10 by 10, and colors range from 2 colors to 3 colors to 4 colors to 5 colors. You are only penalized in this game, so your score will be negative, but you want to get the highest score as you can. You are penalized four points for each wrong guess. You are penalized one point for each hint. Upgrade packs include unlimited play and tile alternatives such as animal names and sounds.
