    Phone walkthrough

    Thanks for checking out ReelLife Conversations on a phone. To make our product as visible as possible, we have created this phone version for you to enjoy — however, for accessibility reasons, we do encourage you to use a tablet if you have access to one so that you can both see the screen and enjoy it together.

    In the phone version, there are two types of buttons:

    • Face Buttons — for people found in the picture.
    • Purple Buttons — one or two word Conversation Cues for things to talk about that need no memory of the photo.

    Press any button to move to the next photo — and the clever part is the next photo will link back to the previous one.

    1Photo of the Day

    Examples of how to use these four buttons as cues for conversation:

    Queen Elizabeth

    Face button

    Queen Elizabeth has an amazing dress on — it looks almost white. Do you think it suits her?

    Prince Philip

    Face button

    Prince Philip looks quite handsome in his black tie outfit — have you ever been to a fancy event like that?

    Red Carpet

    Purple button

    Wow, I bet that carpet only gets used on fancy occasions. I love the colour red — do you like it?

    Formal Attire

    Purple button

    Everyone looks very smart in that picture — whose outfit do you like the best?

    2Let's explore…

    Examples for the next photo in the journey:

    Family Group

    Purple button

    I wonder what it must have been like to meet the Queen as a family. Would you have liked to have met the Queen?

    Historic Building

    Purple button

    That is gorgeous stone on that building — what colour is this house or building?

    Bill Clinton

    Face button

    He certainly got himself into a bit of trouble for a US President. I wonder what Hilary had to say about that!

    Queen Elizabeth

    Face button

    You never see her without matching shoes and a handbag, I don't think. I like black and red as a combination — do you?
