Within the next two weeks Red Herring Games, the UK leader in murder mystery games will be launching its new website which aims to support customers through some great new 'universal design' features which have been incorporated as standard to support minority groups.

Coming from a background of Occupational Therapy, the Managing Director Jo Smedley has always had a disability friendly approach and has been custom tailoring games to order for a number of years to help those with partial sight or difficulty hearing.



Subtitling on the latest inspector videos makes the inspector recordings much more friendly for those who struggle with hearing, but it also supports crowded spaces where the sound doesn't travel well.


Their next event coming up at the weekend (Death in the Alps) will also carry close caption subtitling.

As well as video subtitling, the team have created "page per view" booklets making them easier to enlarge, and have also added into each plot two gender neutral guests making it easier to cast parties with uneven guest gender numbers, but also supports those who consider themselves part of the gender minority.

We're always customising kits to help party planners.

"We're running a virtual event for a group in America this week who have clients with complex needs. I'll also be acting in that event, to ensure anything complicated is explained in as easy a way possible for those who find it difficult to process," explained Jo.

Customising and tailoring games to order is at the heart of this UK small business. It's something you just don't get from mass produced game creators, which is why small businesses like Red Herring Games continue to thrive in the game space, even if they aren't winning on the price war.
