Become the President

2 of 11

The year is 2045, and 2048 is looking to have one of the most important presidential elections in U.S. history. The country is facing some of the most challenging times it has ever seen. It is recovering from World War III, has people leaving the country in record numbers to go live better lives elsewhere, and there is a growing division between the people in this country, with which way the country should head.

You understand the challenges facing the country, but also feel confident in knowing how to overcome them. Your mission is to try to become a difference-maker in a country that has seen better days. You may just be a local leader, doing your part in your community, or maybe you'll rise to the top, becoming the next President of the United States of America.

Do you have what it takes to save your nation, and go down in history as one of the greatest of all time?

Hello, I’m your advisor - Mr. Armstrong. I will be going over some more information about how this year will work.

After explaining how everything will work, you will make an avatar for yourself.

It will be your profile picture for your email and the game, so it should look somewhat like you!

Citizens

You and your classmates will all start out the game as CITIZENS, and your role will change as you pass levels throughout the year.

Every citizen’s goal is to become the PRESIDENT by the end of the race, but only ONE will be elected. (Election Day is at the end of 3rd Quarter!)

In order to become a Presidential Candidate (finalist to win it all), you will have to pass all previous levels OR be the first in your party to gain at least 1 million followers.

Parties

You just took a survey, which will place you in a small group that you will work closely with throughout the year.

Your small groups are called “PARTIES,” and just like political parties want their candidate to win elections, your party will want your candidate elected, too.

The entire PARTY needs to be successful in order to have a Presidential Candidate.

The first person in their party to complete Level 9 or get 1 million followers, is the party’s PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

Regions

Each section (2nd hr., 5th hr, & 6th hr.) will be a REGION of the country (North, South or West).

Regions will be competing against each other throughout the game.

�The entire REGION with the winning candidate & party are hoping to win, too!

Campaign Cash

You can earn MONEY at various points in your pursuit to become the president. Completing levels, and moving up the political ranks is your best way to earn some dough, but not the only way.

Money can then be used to purchase TV ads, hire more staff for your campaign, or to hold campaign rallies.

Money spent on these things can earn you more followers, and can unlock other special privileges.

The Store will be available soon in your Campaign Headquarters! (Classroom)

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)

  1. Can I give my followers away to someone, or have someone give me theirs?
    1. No, just like real politicians can’t just give their followers to another candidate.
    2. There will be plenty of ways to be strategic though as the game progresses, though, so be creative!
  2. Can I give money I earn to someone else, or can others give me money?
    • Yes, but not right away. As the presidential race gets closer to the election day (end of Q3) you will be able to give money to candidates or parties that may have a better chance of winning than you do. Because this can be anyone’s race to win, giving money to other campaigns is discouraged until close to the end. You want to win, don’t you?
