Hasbro Gaming Simon Classic Game
The verdict
Hasbro Gaming Simon Classic Game — about $28 at Amazon · 4.5★, review count unpinned — confirm at checkout · the lights-and-sounds memory game where the sound IS the game.
Comparison context: the handheld Simon ($20ish) is the same game in a smaller, travel-size unit; the Classic is the big tabletop disc and the one most people picture. If the gift is for a younger child or for travel, the handheld is the cheaper, pocketable twin — same tones, same rules.

Blind details
Blind-shopper guidance: Simon is one of the rare mainstream games that is genuinely playable by ear. Each of the four big colored pads plays its own distinct tone, and the game is entirely about repeating a sequence of tones — no reading, no board to scan, no pieces to track.
The pads are large, raised, and spaced far apart, so you can find them by touch. For a blind shopper buying for a kid (or for yourself), this is the rare case where the mainstream toy needs no adaptation at all: listen, remember, press. It also tracks your high score, so solo play has a goal.
Honest caveats: the game still uses colored lights as its visual half, so a fully blind player relies on the tones alone — which works, but confirm the volume suits your room, it cycles loud, medium, quiet, and mute on the power button, and that cycle runs fast. Requires 3 AA batteries (demo batteries included). Ages 8 and up; younger kids may need a hand with the rules at first.
