This was featured in the BBC Webscape & seems to need no visual interaction,
so may suitable for VIPs. - Dave

Something a bit different now - an iPhone game you can play with your eyes
closed. Papa Sangre is an audio adventure where you have to move around a
virtual environment, reacting and interacting with what you hear. 

It is a pretty spooky game and you have to concentrate on the ambient sounds
if you do not want to come a cropper. 

The monsters lurking in the darkness often react to the sounds you make - it
is surprisingly absorbing when you do not have any visual stimuli to
distract you. 

The game, due for release in September, is not free, but it is definitely
worth the small price for download if you want to experience this totally
new type of game. Versions for the iPad and Android handsets will be
released next year.
