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. Cryptogram is a fully accessible Cryptogram game for both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play. Cryptogram comes with 5 assorted Cryptogram quotes by famous people - categories include age, change, computers, being cool and education - and the game is entirely controlled through gestures. It doesn't require voice-over but is fully compatible with voice-over. The Cryptogram puzzle board is not visible; instead, you play by listening. Flick left and right to move one letter at a time, and hear the encrypted letter. Swipe with 2 fingers to move one word left, or one word right. Swipe up to hear the entire encrypted puzzle, and your solution. You can enter your solution for each letter three different ways- using a Bluetooth keypad, using the alphabet at the bottom of the screen, or using a popup keypad. The popup keypad also provides buttons for getting hints, and a frequency table. You can customize the game to your liking: how much extra information is spoken and how quickly it is spoken.

15 Puzzle is an addictive sliding puzzle game where players rearrange numbered tiles to achieve a specific pattern. With smooth gameplay, intuitive controls, and full gesture support, players can enjoy a challenging yet relaxing experience. Developed in 2024 by Emanuel Boboiu and Andrei Mischie, and updated in October 2025 by Emanuel Boboiu and Nelu Cîmpean, the game is optimized for seamless performance on mobile devices and supports screen readers, ensuring accessibility for all players. Gameplay 15 Puzzle features grids with 9, 16, or 25 cells, offering varying levels of difficulty to suit all skill levels. Your objective is to arrange the numbered tiles in ascending order within the grid. For example, in a 4×4 grid, you'll need to arrange the numbers from 1 to 15. The grid contains one empty cell, allowing you to slide adjacent tiles into the empty space. To move a tile, simply tap, click, or use gestures. If the tile is adjacent to the empty cell, it will slide into the empty space. Continue sliding the tiles strategically until you've arranged them in the correct order, ensuring the empty cell ends up in the bottom-right corner. This game was created to demonstrate how a single codebase can power a game across major platforms while maintaining excellent accessibility.
