- Welcome to our lab at the National Deaf Center. Here, we track a group of worlds in a parallel universe we call the “Deafverse.” Today you will be traveling through the first world. In this world you meet a friendly robot who needs your help to rescue another robot that has lost its way. You will encounter everyday situations and challenges. In each situation, you will be presented with several choices, each will take you down a path depending on the decisions you make. You can take a break anytime you like, and come back to continue playing Deafverse!

Remember, in the Deafverse, you are the one who chooses your future!

- "You’re back here already?! Let me review what you’ve experienced so far...

    Everyday we meet hearing people who may not be familiar with deaf people and how to communicate with us. It’s important to stay flexible and try different communication strategies. For example, you could use pen and paper, texting on your mobile device, or gesturing. You’ll need to figure out strategies that work well for you. Each deaf person has different communication preferences.

    Are you ready for Chapter Two? Let’s see if you manage to fix the robot…"
