We built browser games and interactive explainers about how politics really works — made by the party, free for everyone, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking.
A political-drama sim on a 1990 Senate terminal.
You're a freshly-sworn Australian Democrats senator with a slim folder from Janine Haines on your desk. Your job isn't to run a department — it's to make the executive explain itself. Weigh every briefing across three decades of Australian politics, watch your Integrity and Political Standing, and find out how long you can keep asking the hard questions.
“If it's not logged, it didn't happen.”Play Operation Haines
Keep the bastards honest — one sausage sizzle at a time.
Defend a polling booth on election day the Australian way: build community-fête stalls — a sausage sizzle, a how-to-vote table, a fact-check beacon — that win over the mobs marching on the ballot box before they get there. Spend your DemBucks, station your volunteers, and hold the booth across escalating waves.
“Persuade the voters — don't fight them.”Play Integrity Defence
Twelve rooms, twelve reasons — walk through them yourself.

Take the two-minute readA wrong turn on the national site, on purpose.
Take a wrong turn on purpose. The national party's lost-page screen hides “Brick by Brick” — smash your way home through ten levels, and grab the gold Australian Democrats block each round.
Play the national 404 gameOur own lost-page screen hides a game too.
Different state, same idea: our page-not-found screen hides a mini-game. Collect the votes, keep your combo alive, and see how long you can hold the parliament to account before the term runs out.
Play our 404 gameMost people meet politics through headlines and attack ads — the worst possible teachers. A good game does what a pamphlet can't: it lets you sit in the chair, feel the trade-offs, and discover for yourself why integrity in politics is hard, and why it matters.
Every one of them runs in your browser on any device. If you enjoy them, share them with a mate — or a teenager who thinks politics is boring.
The games are the fun part. Joining the Australian Democrats is how you actually help keep the bastards honest.
