Imagine a world, where your mouse doesn’t work properly, just your keyboard. Where text plays hide-and-seek, but a screen reader always finds it. Welcome to a digital escape game set in a unique world where assistive and standard technologies swap roles. In this presentation, I’ll take you behind the scenes of this game, designed to help you experience barriers firsthand.
Discover why simulating disabilities may not always be the best approach to bridging the empathy gap. So, what’s the alternative? Instead of simulating disabilities, we simulate barriers. It doesn’t ask you to pretend to be someone you’re not, it asks you to step into a world that wasn’t designed for you.
It isn’t just about empathy, it’s about education, awareness, and those “aha” moments that change how we see the world. Find out how gamification can transform learning into an adventure everyone wants to join. Because when accessibility is fun, it reaches more people — and that’s a win for everyone!
