Accessibility statement

1. What we have done

• Keyboard

  Menus, the basket, search, checkout and both games can be used with a keyboard alone. A “Skip to content” link is the first thing you reach, and the focused item always has a visible outline. In Pop Parade, balloons are real buttons: arrow keys move between them, Space or Enter pops, and P pauses. In Twist & Match, arrow keys, Home and End move between cards and Enter or Space flips.

• Colour contrast

  Text and controls are designed to meet the WCAG AA contrast ratios. Information is not given by colour alone where we could avoid it.

• Alternative text

  Photos and illustrations that carry meaning have text descriptions. Purely decorative images are hidden from screen readers.

• Reduced motion

  If your device is set to reduce motion, the site turns off or calms its animations: the rotating announcement bar stops, confetti is skipped, card flips become fades, and Pop Parade slows down.

• Screen readers

  Buttons and icons have text labels, forms have proper labels and error messages, pages use headings and landmarks in order, and the games announce what is happening (scores, time warnings, matches, and prize codes) through a live region.

• Zoom and small screens

  Pages reflow to narrow screens and remain usable when text is enlarged.

• Sound

  Game sounds are off until you turn them on. Nothing plays automatically.

2. Known limitations

• Pop Parade is timed and fast

  Each round lasts 45 seconds and the balloons speed up. The time cannot be extended or switched off (golden balloons add a few seconds). Keyboard and reduced-motion play is slower, but winning the prize still depends on speed, and the target colour is shown visually as well as announced.

• Twist & Match relies on memory and sight

  It is a picture-memory game with a limited number of moves. Unmatched cards turn back over after about a second. Screen-reader users hear each card’s name, but the game is much harder without sight, and there is no setting for more time or more moves.

• Prize codes depend on the games

  Because the game codes are won by playing, someone who cannot play the games cannot win them that way.

• Announcement bar

  The bar at the top of each page changes message every few seconds. It pauses while a mouse pointer is over it and stops entirely if your device is set to reduce motion, but it does not yet pause when it receives keyboard focus.

• Payment pages

  Card and PayPal payments happen on Stripe’s and PayPal’s own pages, whose accessibility we do not control. Cash on delivery, or ordering by email, is always available as an alternative inside Dhaka.

• Testing

  Our checks so far are our own: reviewing the code, using the site with a keyboard, and viewing it at phone and desktop sizes. It has not been tested by an independent auditor or by disabled users.
