Accessible games and education. Accessibility experiences with e-adventure

Torrente et al. engage with the topic of accessible educational games and explore the use of game creation tools with built-in accessibility features, an efficient way of including accessibility features that does not compromise development costs. In their article they argue that accessibility for educational games is a must, as this type of games must be inclusive and available to everyone, regardless of their capabilities, and present eAdventure, a game-authoring platform designed to facilitate the creation of educational point-and-click adventure games with built-in accessibility features. They also describe a pilot case study which consisted of adding the accessibility features available at the eAdventure platform to an existing game, 1492, an educational game about Spanish history, which was tested by a blind player and a player with reduced mobility.
