Short DescriptionLearn to design tabletop activities for people with cognitive needs. Explore how accessibility-first puzzles improve engagement for all players and why inclusive design is the future of gaming.
Long DescriptionTabletop gaming is for everyone, yet players with cognitive needs are often left behind. This workshop introduces the "Accessibility-First" framework for puzzle and game design, with a focus on dementia-inclusive principles. We will discuss the importance of reducing "visual noise," the psychology of tactile feedback, and how to create flow moments that enable deep focus. This session is ideal for aspiring designers and community leaders who want to make their gaming tables more welcoming. You will leave with a new perspective on how intentional design choices can remove barriers and foster joy for players of all cognitive abilities.
