Deafverse is a web-based app and can be played on any device connected to the internet with a web browser.

Deafverse follows the University of Texas privacy policy when collecting and using data.

World One: Duel of the Bots is the original World and was released in September 2019. It emphasizes self-determination and self-advocacy. World Two: Revenge of the Deep is the new World and was released in October 2021. Work readiness is its theme. You do not need to play them in a particular order and can play the Worlds independent of each other if you want to focus on certain skills.

You are now able to select multiple Worlds. The Backpack Menu has been made to be easier to use, to have more visual contrast, and to hold multiple inventories for both Worlds.

You’ll be presented with the options to begin new game sessions or continue existing game sessions for each World once you’ve logged into the game. Once in a game session, you’ll be able to navigate back to these options by clicking on the abstract icon in the top right corner to make a bar pop out with a button and text: “Worlds”. The top bar will also have the Backpack button and a button to log out with.

The Backpack Menu has now been updated to hold multiple inventories for both Worlds. You can look through your inventories by navigating between the tabs in the Menu designated for each World.

The Player and Teacher Strategy Guides both supplement the Worlds and expand on the material in different ways. The Player Strategy Guides has more on the backstories of the Worlds and offers more activities for the students to enjoy. The Teacher Strategy Guides offer guidance to the teachers on how to use Deafverse in the classroom. They come with suggested curriculum, activities, lesson plans, and information about the game that can help you become more familiar with the game and the Worlds. They can be found here.

The CYF Activity Kit is intended as an expansion to World One with more activities to encourage the development of self-determination skills. It’s an excellent group activity to use in the classroom or for families to enjoy together. This activity can be used to inform various processes, such as vocational rehabilitation, individualized education plans, and school counseling. The Coloring Pages is intended as a low-stress activity for deaf youth.
