Run for Office
Step into Run For Office, a free-to-play game inspired by Richard Omoniyi-Shoyoola’s campaign for alderperson of Chicago’s 2nd Ward.
As you explore the island, you’ll travel through environments modeled after real neighborhoods and landmarks across the ward. Along the way, you’ll encounter a variety of imaginative “monsters.” While playful in design, each one represents a real-world challenge facing our city. For example:
Red Tape Mummies represent the bureaucratic barriers that slow down housing development and make it harder to build the homes we need.
Inequality Scales reflect the growing issue of wealth inequality and the imbalance it creates in opportunity and access.
And many more! Each threat is tied to the issues this campaign focuses on addressing.
We hope you enjoy exploring Chicago Island!
