About the Game

Ever wondered what it’s like to have a say in how the government works? With Branches of Power from iCivics, you’re handed the keys to all three branches of the U.S. government. Draft laws, set presidential agendas, and even give your verdict on freshly-passed bills—it’s a hands-on crash course in civics, except you’re the one pulling the strings. Whether you’re curious about how things get done in Washington or just want to see what it’s like making big decisions, this Educational game makes it all feel pretty real.

Game Features

• Lead Every Branch
  Step into the shoes of all three branches—pick who’s in charge, make tough calls, and see if you can balance power without tipping the scales.

• Craft and Pass Laws
  Go ahead, come up with new legislation, introduce bills to Congress, and work on getting your ideas signed into law—or shut down by a veto.

• Presidential Agendas
  Set the tone for your administration. As president, you get to decide on priorities and push your agenda, tackling everything from policy proposals to big-picture changes.

• Judicial Review
  Put on your judge’s robe and review laws after they pass. It’s your job to decide if they hold up, so pay attention and think through your decisions.

• Support for English Learners
  Handy tools are built in: Spanish language support, clear voiceovers, and a glossary, so everyone gets a fair shot at understanding the action.

• Classroom Friendly
  Teachers will find plenty to love here—students get a chance to see what checks and balances really look like in action, all while practicing civic reasoning in a low-stress setting.
