Introducing Political Trivia

October 7, 2026 · 11:30 am ET · Leave a Comment

Over the summer, my son Alex launched a terrific new game called Yea or Nay, which tests how well you know the key votes taken by the U.S. Senate.

It quickly went viral — enough that the Washington Post wrote a very nice piece about the game and its surprising popularity.

Alex followed that up with Split Decision, which tests your knowledge of Supreme Court decisions, and Pollster, which asks you to guess where public opinion stands on some of the biggest issues of the day.

Now he’s brought them all together — along with a new Daily Trivia game — on a new site called Political Trivia.

And because he’s clearly better at this than I am, Alex also completely rebuilt my game, The Way It Was, and added that to the site too.

The games have gotten enough attention that a major news organization has asked Alex to develop a new game for them, which is expected to launch early next year.

So give Political Trivia a try — and share it with your friends!

And if you have feedback — or if you’re interested in working with Alex — please get in touch.
