Political crisis management game

Downing
Street.

You've just been handed the keys to Number 10. The press is circling, your party is restless, and the first crisis lands on Monday. How long can you last?

Coming Soon How it works

Every week a new crisis.
Every choice costs something.

Downing Street is a political survival game. You pick your party, name your leader, and face a relentless stream of AI-generated crises — each one forcing impossible trade-offs between public opinion, media perception, and your own backbenchers.

There are no right answers. Only consequences.

Polling

62%

Public approval. Lose it and the country turns on you. Win it and your party might tolerate you — for now.

Media

45%

Press coverage. Friendly headlines buy time. Hostile front pages accelerate your downfall.

Party Unity

78%

Backbench loyalty. Please the public and enrage your MPs. Please your MPs and lose the country.

How it works

Pick your party

Choose a party and name your leader. Your starting stats depend on who you are and how the country sees you.

Face the crisis

Each week, an AI-generated crisis hits your desk. Scandals, economic shocks, international incidents — nothing is off limits.

Make the call

Choose your response. Every option shifts your Polling, Media, and Party Unity in different directions. There is no safe choice.
