Loyal colleagues.
Until the numbers turn.

Someone has to pay.

So is saying nothing.

Illustrative ratings. Your decisions determine the real balance in the game.

Before you take office

A few
straight answers.

What does the £2.99 include?

The complete current base game: 656 political dilemmas and unlimited replays while the service operates. It is a one-time purchase with no recurring charge. Optional future expansion packs would be sold separately.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Play in a modern web browser on your phone, tablet or computer. You need JavaScript, cookies and an internet connection. The game is in English.

How do I get back into the game?

After payment, your browser remembers your access. Save your private access link, which is also emailed to your PayPal address. Use it on another device, or select “Already bought?” to request it again.

Does my progress sync between devices?

Your game in progress, personal best, past PMs and the list of dilemmas you’ve already seen are all saved in the browser where you played, so you can pick up where you left off on that device. Purchases can be restored on another device, but your progress does not sync, so a new device starts afresh.

Is this an official government game?

No. No10.co.uk is independent and has no connection to HM Government or the Prime Minister’s Office. The game uses fictionalised political scenarios.

Where has the original No10 information gone?

It’s still here. Visit our Britain & government page for the existing Prime Ministers, government and fuel-duty information. You’ll also find the link at the bottom of every page.
