The Chancellor game from UK Fact Check

Red BoxChancellor Simulation

Run the nation's finances. Survive the consequences.

You've just won the election — and inherited the books. Set the Budget, face the bond markets, negotiate with the unions, survive the front pages, and try to keep the keys to No. 11.

CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Three ways to win

Survive longer than anyone else. Get out of No. 11 and into No. 10 faster than anyone else. Then last longest once you are there. They reward completely different games.

The Wall of Fame

Longest-serving Chancellor

Months in office before the PM, the markets, or the electorate had other ideas.

  1. 1 Mossman 236 months

Fastest to No. 10 Lowest wins

Months served before the challenge that won the leadership. The only board where the smallest number wins.

Nobody has made the thirty-foot walk yet.

Longest-serving Prime Minister

Months at No. 10, counted from the day the keys changed hands.

Nobody has governed from No. 10 yet.

Best economy at five years

Growth, prices, jobs, debt and the country's mood, scored after exactly 60 months.

  1. 1 Mossman 692

How scores work — honestly

Checked, and auditable

Scores are reported by the game and checked against server-side plausibility bounds. Every entry carries the run's seed and engine version, so the whole run can be audited and moderated.

One free account

Sign in inside the game with a 6-digit email code — the same free UK Fact Check account as the news app — to track your bests. The boards are strictly opt-in.

Private by default

You appear here only if you choose a public profile, under a display name you pick (never your email or username), with a generated cartoon portrait rather than a photo.

Built by UK Fact Check — the fact-checking project. The game teaches the real machinery: where the money comes from, where it goes, and why the Bank of England doesn't answer to the Chancellor.
