Accessibility statement

For Peak Season (peak-season.org)

Phronon is committed to making its websites accessible in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA (the standard behind EN 301 549 and Directive (EU) 2016/2102). This statement applies to Peak Season, including its participant pages and the educator backoffice.

Measures to support accessibility

• Automated WCAG 2.2 AA checks run on every deployment against a sample of pages (the start page, the "about" page and the sign-in page), and a failure is reported to the operator at once. On 10 November 2026 they reported zero errors and zero warnings on those pages. Pages reached only after signing in, and the pages of a running game, are not covered by that automated run.
• Every deployment also plays a whole session in two browser engines on a phone-sized screen. That run sets a hotel's prices with the keyboard, and it stops the release if a page scrolls sideways or a form field is so small that a phone zooms in on it.
• Every chart of the debrief and of a team's results page has a legend that names its lines, and its numbers as a table beneath it.
• The picture of the valley has a text alternative, and what it shows is also told in words on the same screen: in the guests' reviews and the valley's news.
• Pages use labelled form fields and a skip link to the main content. Error and status messages are marked as such for assistive technology.
• Signing in works with password managers and does not block pasting. Two-factor codes use the standard one-time-code field, and recovery codes provide an alternative path (WCAG 3.3.8, accessible authentication).
• There is no audio or video content, so captions and audio descriptions are not applicable.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.2 level AA, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons (non-compliance with the accessibility requirements):

• A season has a time limit, usually eight minutes for the first season and five for each later one, which a participant cannot extend themselves (WCAG 2.2.1). The educator can add time or pause the clock for the whole session. A team's entries are saved as they are made and count as they stand when the time is up, so nothing typed is lost.
• The team's screen reloads by itself when the educator opens or closes a season, or when the team changes. A screen reader then starts at the top of the page again.
• Some action buttons in dense educator tables may fall below the minimum target size of WCAG 2.5.8.
• The assessment behind this statement is automated and internal. A manual audit with assistive technologies (screen readers, voice control) has not been carried out, and none is currently scheduled, so barriers that only such an audit would reveal may exist.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 10 November 2026. It is based on a self-assessment: automated testing of a sample of public pages (start, about, sign-in), re-run on every deployment; the played session described above; and an internal review of the game's screens. It is not based on automated testing of the complete site, and not on any external audit.

Feedback and contact information

If anything on this site is hard to use with assistive technology, please tell us: we treat access barriers as defects and fix them with priority. Write to info@phronon.org and mention the page and the technology you were using. You can expect a reply within five working days.

Language of this statement

This statement is published in English, as all of Peak Season is.

Enforcement procedure

Phronon is a private provider, so the enforcement procedure of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 does not apply to this site directly. If you have reported a problem to us and are not satisfied with our response, you can escalate to the same address marked "accessibility — escalation" and the matter will be reviewed by the owner personally. Participants using this site through a public-sector institution (for example, a university) may additionally contact that institution's accessibility officer or the enforcement body responsible for it under their national implementation of the Directive.
