Immaculate PolitiGrid
A daily puzzle game for US political history
Project Overview
Immaculate PolitiGrid is a self-initiated product experiment that turns US political history into a compact daily trivia grid. The goal is to combine trustworthy public data, clear game mechanics, and a brand that can stand apart from my personal portfolio site.
The first prototype focuses on three parts: a daily puzzle, a random puzzle mode, and the foundations for custom shareable grids. Under the hood, a Python data pipeline generates static JSON that PHP can read without requiring a database during early hosting and testing.
Product Focus
- Daily puzzle design
- Static-data game architecture
- Political history taxonomy
- Standalone visual identity
- Custom puzzle monetization path
- Auditable public data sources
What I'm Building
Game Experience
The prototype is designed around a familiar three-by-three grid: each cell asks for a politician who matches the row and column categories. Categories can cover office held, party, state ties, era, and biographical facts.
Data Pipeline
The first data layer uses generated JSON files so the game can run on a simple PHP host. The scraper is designed to favor structured public data from Wikidata/Wikipedia and preserve source identifiers for later review.
Try the first baseline.
The standalone game experience lives separately from this portfolio shell.
