Frequently asked questions
Is this just a training exercise?
No. It’s a facilitated experience designed by learning experts. You’ll feel barriers, reflect, and agree practical changes the same day. (We use proven learning design and a guided action process.)
Is it safe and inclusive?
Yes. Opt-out at any time, quiet space available, inclusive facilitation.
Will people be overwhelmed?
We design for psychological safety and choice at every station.
How many people can take part?
Typically 18 to 24 per session. We can accommodate for larger groups. Two sessions can run in one day.
Can it run in our office?
Yes. We’re fully portable; we can set up in a large meeting room, training space, or hall.
Can we host it for others?
Yes. Some organisations offer their venue to local businesses or networks and receive discounted hosting rates.
Do we need special equipment?
No. We bring everything with us.
Is it suitable for all abilities?
Absolutely. The experience is inclusive by design. Participants can opt out of any challenge at any time.

Half-day or full-day options available.
Why settle for another golf day?
Archery. Bowling. A nice lunch. They’re fun - but they fade fast.
If your organisation is serious about inclusion, it’s time for something that sticks.
A11yShip gives teams a safe way to feel what inaccessibility is like, then shows them how to fix it.
It’s memorable, meaningful, and designed to create lasting change.
What actually happens
The A11yShip Experience
You and your team take on a series of escape-room-style challenges - while facing barriers to vision, hearing, mobility, dexterity, speech, and cognition.
It’s fast-paced, immersive, and built by accessibility experts.
After each challenge, we pause to reflect:
Barriers
What barriers did you face?
Feelings
How did it feel?
Fixes
What could have made it easier?
Those insights build the empathy, curiosity, and teamwork every inclusive culture needs.
The Fix Workshop
Empathy is the starting point.
Action is the goal.
In the afternoon, our facilitators guide your team through the Fix Workshop, using real accessibility personas.
Together, you’ll explore how to remove barriers in your own learning, customer journeys, and workplaces.
You’ll leave with:
Ideas
Practical inclusion ideas you can apply immediately
Shared language
A shared language around accessibility
Purpose
A renewed sense of purpose as a team
Those insights build the empathy, curiosity, and teamwork every inclusive culture needs.
Why teams love it
It’s inclusive by design
Everyone can take part safely and comfortably.
It’s practical
Every challenge links to real workplace scenarios.
It’s portable
We bring the full setup to your office or event.
It’s expert-led
Designed by learning and accessibility specialists with lived experience.
- Empathy that lasts – People remember what they felt long after the session ends.
- Shared understanding – Accessibility stops being “someone else’s job.”
- Actionable steps – Teams identify real changes they can make straight away.
- Cultural shift – Awareness becomes action, and action becomes habit.
