「觸瞇」是一款融合教育與遊戲的學習型桌遊，幫助視障與明眼兒童學習交通安全，提升安全意識，鼓勵合作並學習互相尊重、理解與包容，促進社會共融意識的建立。
遊戲開始時，玩家需組隊並拼接模塊，規劃可行走的路線，並面對各種障礙與突發狀況，例如變電箱阻擋、道路施工等，使明眼兒童能認識視障者日常的不便。遇到障礙時，玩家可使用解決卡應對問題，或透過隨機卡改變局勢，如換卡機會或遭遇額外挑戰，讓遊戲充滿變數與挑戰性，同時引導玩家思考如何讓視障者安全地行走。
遊戲設計強調合作與互動，明眼與視障玩家需溝通尋找最佳解決方案，透過色彩對比、觸覺識別與語音提示，使不同視力條件的玩家皆能參與，確保遊戲公平性，創造真正無障礙的遊戲環境。學習同理心與合作精神，提升社會關懷，尊重多元需求。
實際遊玩，視障兒童的回饋顯示「觸瞇」幫助他們提升空間理解與定向能力，並學習更有效的與明眼夥伴協作。視障玩家認為遊戲中的觸覺輔助設計讓他們更快熟悉規則。他們特別喜歡遊戲中涉及合作與策略的部分，與夥伴共同解決問題，而不是單獨面對挑戰。不僅帶來遊戲樂趣，也幫助他們在無壓力的環境下學習應對能力與團隊合作，使「觸瞇」成為促進無障礙交流與理解的橋樑。
"Touch Me" is a learning-based board game that integrates education and play to help visually impaired and sighted children learn traffic safety, enhance awareness, and encourage cooperation, mutual respect, understanding, and inclusivity, fostering a more socially inclusive mindset.
At the start of the game, players form teams and assemble modular road sections, planning walkable routes while facing obstacles and unexpected events, such as blocked pathways due to electrical boxes or road construction. This allows sighted children to experience the daily challenges faced by visually impaired individuals. When encountering obstacles, players can use solution cards to resolve issues or draw random event cards that alter the game dynamics—introducing opportunities like card exchanges or additional challenges. These elements add variability and excitement while encouraging players to strategize ways to ensure safe navigation for visually impaired individuals.
The game emphasizes cooperation and interaction, requiring sighted and visually impaired players to communicate and find optimal solutions together. With features like color contrast, tactile recognition, and audio cues, the game ensures accessibility and fairness, creating a truly inclusive play environment. Through empathy-building and teamwork, players develop social awareness and gain a deeper appreciation for diverse needs.
Real-World Impact & Player Feedback
During playtesting, visually impaired children reported that "Touch Me" improved their spatial awareness and orientation skills, helping them collaborate more effectively with sighted partners. They found the tactile assistive features helpful for quickly understanding the game rules. Many particularly enjoyed the strategic and cooperative aspects, appreciating the opportunity to solve problems alongside teammates rather than facing challenges alone.
Beyond providing entertainment, "Touch Me" serves as a bridge for accessibility, fostering communication and understanding in a stress-free learning environment. Through play, children develop problem-solving skills, teamwork, and a greater awareness of accessibility challenges, making it a powerful tool for promoting inclusive social interactions.
