Blindfold Sudoku Mini vs StatusQuest

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.  Sudoku Mini is a fully accessible Sudoku game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play. It's a starter game for Sudoku - a 4-by-4 puzzle game that's great for kids and adults just getting started with Sudoku. Sudoku Mini comes with 5 Sudoku 4-by-4 easy puzzles - and is controlled through gestures. It doesn't require voice-over but is fully compatible with voice-over. More puzzles are available through an in-app purchase. The Sudoku puzzle board is not visible; instead, you play by listening. Tap on a cell to hear what's in the cell, swipe right to hear the row, swipe down to hear the column and swipe up to hear the square. Blindfold Sudoku gives you audio cues to tell the difference between the initial puzzle cells and the cells you fill in, and it lets you set multiple candidates for a cell. You can set the game to use numbers, or animals (dog, cat, horse, or frog) or animal sounds.

StatusQuest is an innovative educational game developed within the XR4ED Horizon Europe initiative, focusing on accessibility and inclusion. It bridges the gap between blind, visually impaired, and sighted users through a collaborative experience that combines spatial audio and haptic feedback. The game explores connections between Modern Mythology (pop culture, superheroes, cinema, music) and Ancient Culture, inviting players to collaborate on educational challenges set across historical and futuristic worlds. Designed for smartphones and tablets, StatusQuest adapts to museums, schools, and home environments. Co-created with national associations for the blind in Germany and Italy, and supported by cultural institutions like museums and universities, the project promotes inclusive learning, cultural appreciation, and social interaction.
