[Athen] Accessible Alternative and Games

[Varnado, Jason]

Good morning,
I am being asked to look at two elements on our website and give my opinion, which I am happy to do - but I prefer to seek out expert advice in an effort of due diligence and to ensure my opinion is up-to-date... any thoughts you all have would be very much appreciated!

Our marketing folks post an online newsletter in something like Issue or Flipsnack which makes a fancy, graphic heavy, inaccessible "magazine" that users can "flip" through on the page.  However, an accessible PDF download is offered.  I am calling this an "accessible alternative" and should therefore be fine, but our marketing folks are still a little concerned (which I am grateful for, since they are thinking about accessibility!).
We have an online advent calendar with each day being a link to new content.  Each of these pages has varying degrees of accessibility (being worked on), but one of the days is a game where the school's mascot uses a jetpack to fly through gaps in candy cane walls with points for length of survival (well....that is probably the strangest thing I have typed in a while...).  Clearly this is not accessible to an individual who is blind, how would you address this?
Thank you!
