LawCraft 3.0.1

LawCraft offers an engaging opportunity to step into the role of a member of Congress representing a state of your choice. Participants are tasked with selecting a key issue of significance to both themselves and their constituents, guiding it through the entire legislative process. Successful endeavors culminate in the creation of a tangible bill that can be proudly displayed. The game challenges players to navigate the necessary compromises to secure the passage of their bill while upholding their values.

The game is set against districts that were meticulously crafted based on the latest available information during development, although it is noted that redistricting changes may have occurred in some states.

Enrolling in an iCivics account allows users to accumulate Impact Points and unlock game-based achievements. For educators interested in integrating LawCraft into their curriculum, a wealth of classroom resources are available at www.icivics.org.
