A free location-based political satire game. Pick a party — Democrat or Republican — then walk your real neighborhood to earn points, battle satirical caricatures of the other side, capture them, and fight for control of real town halls. Think of it as a walking game where the map war never stops and both parties get roasted equally.
Yes. Everything in the game can be earned by playing: walking earns Fighting Points, arcade games pay FP daily, and battles reward FP. You can optionally buy FP packs to speed things up, but nothing is locked behind payment.
The game’s energy and currency. You earn 100 FP per 150 steps walked with the app open (up to 30,000 steps a day), plus a 1,000 FP daily login bonus, plus arcade and battle rewards. FP pays for capture attempts, town hall siege attacks, PvP stakes, and shop items.
Not yet. The web app can only count steps while it’s open on screen — that’s a limitation phones place on all browser apps. The upcoming store versions will connect to Apple Health and Google’s step tracking so your full day counts.
Beat a character in battle and you get a capture roll. Common characters capture easily; rares escape more; legendaries need higher player levels and some luck. Every spawn is shared — the same characters appear in the same spots for everyone, and once five players catch a spawn it disappears for the whole area.
The Don is gated: below player level 5 he is effectively unbeatable by design. Level up on commons and rares first. Each party’s legendaries are meant to be trophies, not warm-ups.
Town halls hold defense points. Attacks (within 10 miles) grind defense down; boosts like firecrackers and rockets speed it up; the final assault must be a real attack, not an item. Flip the hall and your party holds it — then it’s your job to defend it with FP donations and your clique.
The colosseum on the map next to your local town hall. Inside: player-vs-player matchmaking by level bracket, live one-on-one fights, national daily and all-time rankings, and the fighter designer where you build your combatant and pick a bobblehead.
Yes — friendships are fully cross-party. Your friends list is completely private: nobody can see who your friends are or how many you have, and declined requests are never announced.
Once every 30 days, from Settings. Switching leaves your clique behind and your enemies change sides — the characters you hunt are always the opposite party.
Only if you allow it, and with controls: you can appear at an approximate location instead of your exact one, hide from the map entirely, or hide your party affiliation. Location powers gameplay (spawns, halls in range) and is never sold.
No. Every character is an original satirical caricature — exaggerated archetypes in the tradition of political cartoons. Both parties get the same treatment. Any resemblance is the joke, not the claim.
Any modern phone browser. On iPhone: open politicsgo.app in Safari, Share → Add to Home Screen, and it runs fullscreen like an app (with push notifications on iOS 16.4+). An Android app is on the way to Google Play.
PoliticsGo is for players 17 and up. It’s political satire with cartoon combat — nothing gory, but it’s not built for kids.
Free arcade games (Pic Hunt, Checkmate Chamber, Landslide, Tet-Kris) pay FP for wins, capped at a shared 5,000 FP per day. The slot machines take FP bets and pay from them — the house edge is real, budget accordingly.
