My friend suffers from really bad dyslexia when reading the riddles and map so what we are looking for is some sort of option to make reading friendlier for dyslexic people.
Dyslexia Friendly Option
A good point...
Having worked in educational support for people with additional learner needs a few years back, I’m aware of the issues around dyslexia.
Often I would supply students with a blue background and yellow text documents as this was favourable amongst many, but others worked better with other colour combinations.
There are few games out there that I recall that cater for additional needs, so am unsure of the answer for you, 😐 but do understand your friends plight.
Sounds like a good idea to me, and 100% need colorblind support. My cousin can't see the color red, could make treasure hunting pretty difficult.

A quicker/easier solution for them might be add an option for captions in a dyslexia friendly font that can be turned on. (Probably) less effort for Rare than reworking the existing map/riddle .
But not everybody can read all fonts

You're probably correct. Although with both the standard font, and a dyslexia friendly caption font, chances are good almost everyone will be able to read one of the two. I don't think "it won't help 100% of people" is a good reason not to do something that would help almost all of them.

@santach they can add audio reader and the fonts idea so you got a choice
They could probably add a dozen different things, but I'm not certain how adding more things would make it a quicker, easier, or less effort for Rare solution. I'm fairly certain more things = more effort. Since I was specifically pointing out what I thought the quickest, easiest addition would be to help most of the affected people immediately, I'm not sure why we would want to not help them until we can devote time to a much more sophisticated and harder to integrate solution.
@myrm I'm not sure how much colour/background helps, but there are specially shaped fonts that are supposed to be significantly easier for most people with dyslexia to read.
