'Conquer the Campaign' was launched by Fox News as a means to increase awareness pertaining to the intricacies of the 2016 presidential election.
In order to do this, the political fantasy game includes a number of challenging quizzes that test user's knowledge on each of the states. Every week, they are granted more cash to spend on campaigning efforts in these locations, with users garnering more votes if they answer questions correctly. They gain more points if they complete the quizzes quickly and they match the party affiliation of the state they're campaigning in as well.
Fox News reports that thousands of users have already signed up for Conquer the Campaign, with the launch of the game coming at a time when discussion surrounding the American election is more prevalent than ever.
