I am giving a presentation on digital accessibility at work next week to a group of web and mobile designers. The presentation should be fun and interactive and I am looking for an iPhone app that meets the following criteria:
• Fully accessible with VoiceOver.
• FUN! FUN! FUN!
• Safe for work/Rated E for everyone.
• Standalone or minimal networking requirements. I'd like to get the team to download the app ahead of time so we're not doing this on the day of the presentation.
I'd like the group to use voiceOver gestures, voice control or other accessibility features of iPhone to operate the app. If I can get them to use the app with screen curtain on, even better.
Thanks in advance.

any of the audio games would work for this perpice since it would show them how to swipe through the games and stuff like that.
Do you have one you like and…
Do you have one you like and would recommend? I'd like to stay away from audio stuff as the group will be together in one room without headphones.
BlackBox springs to mind.
It's a very interesting puzzler that uses a lot of different facets of VoiceOver to work correctly and is quite intriguing whether blind or sighted. You could then have them see the screen as a demonstration of just what VoiceOver was making work--I've heard it's quite impressive visually.
Text or card games
Perhaps, something which didn't have a bunch of sound might be beter for a group presentation. Path of Adventure is inexpensive and easy to just start playing. Choice of Games has some free games in it like Choice of the Vampire. That would be easy to get going with using pretty much any accessibility tools. A card game like Sushi Go could work well. Shredder Chess is very accessible using vertical navigation on the VoiceOver rotor to help examine the board.
Going beyond games, perhaps an app like Terminology, Drafts or Day One Journal would be good demonstrations. They work very well with VoiceOver. Most public radio service apps are very accessible. The CBC Listen, BBC Sounds and NPR apps all work well and are good for beginners. You'd use the one relevant to where you were. Best of luck with the presentation.
Voice Dream?
Besides games letting them know about the app and how is helping with those who have issues with letters. Accessible app and is good.
Regular app
Also showing the use of a app that sighted people use and is accessible will go a long way.
There's always youtube.
it's accessible and I think it's fun.
