Khoj is a board game that aims to bring interaction and bridge the communication gap between the deaf and the hearing. The theme centers around a planet where only gestures and signs are used to communicate. The players' friend gets lost and has been sending pictures as hints. They can save their friend only if they are able to make some sense of the photos. Every time someone is able to decode a series of illustrative cards (the photos), they are closer to saving their lost friend.
