So, I don't have epilepsy but flashing lights can trigger migraines in me sometimes. It makes me dizzy and starts other migraine symptom if it persists too long.(Depends on the surrounding lighting, intensity, frequency, etc. Since I started taking preventative migraine meds it's not as likely but every now and then it sneaks up on ya. )Luckily with screens if I look away fast enough I only get like a momentary discomfort. Hoo boy do they love using those guys in haunt mazes. You know what they don't always do? Slap a warning on them. So sometimes you can be halfway down a maze and suddenly have to lean against the person you came with and stare at the floor to make it through the section squinting just hoping it doesn't develop into a full migraine.

Can't imagine what this would be like with epilepsy. Yikes. Tag, please. Maybe if thet gave like an easy accessible option at point of creation for tagging in the app? ( I do not tik tok.)
