Accessibility statement
Welcome to Silverton, City of Speed · Version 1.1 · 27 October 2026
We want every child aged 4 to 7, and the grown-ups with them, to be able to use Silverton. This page says what we have done, what does not work well yet, and how to tell us about a problem.
What you can change
Tap Easier to use (the person symbol on the map, in the book and in the reader) to:
- make Walbot's words and the reading text bigger (Normal, Big, Bigger)
- switch to easy-read letters (Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed for readers with low vision)
- use stronger colours
- calm the motion: fewer moving, sliding and bouncing things
- turn Walbot's voice or all sound on and off
Choices are saved on your device. If your device is set to reduce motion, Silverton starts with calm motion switched on.
Reading support
- Read by myself shows the real book. Big words shows each page's words in large, reflowing text that you can make bigger again. Any line can be read aloud, with each word lit up as it is spoken.
- The audiobook (Listen) has no pictures. Its words are the same as the book's, which you can read in Read by myself.
- Everything Walbot says also appears as text on screen.
Keyboard and switch use
Buttons can be reached with the Tab key and pressed with Enter or Space. In the reader, the arrow keys turn the pages and Esc closes it. The grown-ups check is a times-table question with four answer buttons, so it needs no press-and-hold. Hidden screens are skipped when you press Tab.
What does not work well yet
- The animated book is a 3D scene. Calm motion reduces movement on the map and in the reader, but some camera movement in the book's race scenes remains. Read by myself is the calmest way to enjoy the story.
- Washing the car works best by rubbing with a finger or mouse, but one tap is enough: Louis joins in and finishes the job. With a keyboard, press Enter on the car. Every other game works with single taps.
- The 100m sprint asks for fast tapping. It also works with the Space key. There is no clock and no score. Zion slows down a little after every race he wins, with no limit, so a child who keeps tapping, however slowly, wins in the end.
- The lullaby video in the Silverton Hotel is music and sound effects with no words, so it has no captions.
- Screen readers: the map, the reader and the menus have text labels, but the 3D book itself is not fully described to screen readers yet.
- We have not yet had an independent accessibility audit against WCAG 2.2 level AA. We are testing against it ourselves.
