More about this game
Follow a short interactive story about a boy named Calean learning to read Braille with Auntie Emma. Your goal is to form specific letters on a six-dot cell to spell out a word. The game asks you to make a letter, and you must toggle the correct dots to match the Braille pattern. The board features dots numbered 1 through 6. You will spell out a three-letter word, starting with D, over three short chapters. The run ends when you successfully complete the final letter and finish the story with Jack.
Tips
- If you are unsure which dots to press, wait exactly 2.5 seconds for a pulsing hint to appear on the correct dot.
- The letter D requires dots 1, 4, and 5 to be raised, while the letter A only needs dot 1.
- You can tap a raised dot again to lower it if you make a mistake, and the hint timer will reset.
Questions
How many letters do I need to make?
You need to complete three letters to finish the story. You will spell the word D-A-D.
What happens if I press the wrong dot?
Nothing negative happens. You can simply press the dot again to turn it off and try the correct pattern. The game waits until only the correct dots are raised.
Can I replay the story?
Yes, once you finish the third chapter, a replay button appears so you can read the story and practice the letters again. You can also use the restart button in the top right corner at any time.
