Video game encourages support for recall elections
Video game encourages support for recall elections
2025-07-15
The countdown is on until the recall elections, and campaign supporting recalls are doing their best to think of creative ways to drum up support. One group in New Taipei City created the online video game “Congress Party: Survival Chaos,” newly adding 14 lawmakers facing recalls as characters, including Fu Kun-chi, Lin Pei-hsiang, and Niu Hsu-ting. Another campaign created a role-playing game for volunteers that bestows titles after completing tasks to encourage participation.
When starting this video game, you first choose your character out of these KMT lawmakers. Then you enter the legislature, and are asked to make a series of decisions on important issues. But you have to consider each one carefully if you want to survive in the legislature.
It’s often a choice between toeing the party line or conforming to public opinion. It’s not easy.
Even if you manage to not be booted out, it means you’ve conformed to the party and created chaos in the legislature, inciting the people’s anger and receiving recall petition signatures.

By playing a casual game like this, you can learn about all the ridiculous things the KMT lawmakers have been doing in the legislature. We added items to each lawmaker’s office, like bread for Lu Yu-ling or Lo Chih-chiang’s new book. For Yeh Yuan-chih, we put a phone, because he might start livestreaming at any time.
As the recall campaigns enter the final stretch, one group in New Taipei City designed this online video game to show voters the absurd things they believe are happening in the legislature. Version 1.0 started with just the 11 KMT lawmakers in Taipei and New Taipei City. Version 2.0 was updated with another 14, including Fu Kun-chi, Lin Pei-hsiang, Niu Hsu-ting, and Tu Chuan-chi. Now all 25 legislators facing recalls are included in the game to show people why campaigners believe they’re unfit for office.

There are some volunteers’ friends who just joined that are TPP supporters. After playing, they said they think they’ll go vote yes on the recalls.
The groups are working on campaigning while also boosting morale internally. The group seeking to recall Yeh Yuan-chih in New Taipei’s Banqiao District created another role-playing game for volunteers. As they participate in more activities, they can earn titles. For example, “warriors” are focused on the “land battle” of street canvassing, while “sorcerers” specialize in the “air battle” on social media, “alchemists” create props, and “monks” provide support for the team.

I sign up every day, whenever there are slots open, and got this title. This is our daily MVP award. One time when I went out, some people came over to provoke us. So to protect the volunteers, I put myself out in front and earned this title.
With only days to go before the July 26 recalls, the campaigns are hoping to tap into gamers’ enthusiasm to drum up excitement.

2025-07-15
罷免進入倒數階段，罷團絞盡腦汁拚創意，雙和罷團設計「國會派對：生存之亂」線上遊戲，2.0版新增傅崐萁、林沛祥、牛煦庭等14位立委，透過鏡頭，獨家開箱帶您來體驗！另外，也有罷團為志工設計「RPG遊戲」，只要參與任務越多，就能晉級獲得新稱號，凝聚志工向心力。
點進遊戲，選擇一位國民黨立委角色，前進國會，接下來，面對各種重要抉擇，玩家得一一謹慎思考，回答題目，努力在國會活到最後一刻。
到底要遵從黨意，還是服從民意，實在很兩難。
雖然一路過關斬將，成功在國會生存，但是服從黨意，讓國會大亂，引起人民的怒火，收到滿滿滿的連署書。

"透過玩遊戲的方式、比較輕鬆的方式，去了解到這些國民黨立委，在國會裡面做一些很荒謬的事情。我們每一位立委都幫他增加辦公室的小物，像呂玉玲的吐司、羅智強立委的新書，葉元之立委我們有記得幫他放上手機，因為他可能隨時想要直播。"
罷免進入最後衝刺階段，雙和罷極發揮創意，設計最新國會線上遊戲，真實呈現國會荒誕現況，繼1.0版的雙北11位被罷藍委，2.0版增加傅崐萁、林沛祥、牛煦庭、涂權吉等14位立委，25位被罷立委通通上線，要讓更多網友了解為何這些立委不適任。

"有剛好志工的朋友，然後他比較是民眾黨的支持者，然後他有回饋說，其實他玩完之後，有想要去投同意罷免。"
罷團對外拚宣傳，對內也拉抬士氣，「板橋大刪元」罷團更用心為志工設計「RPG遊戲」，只要參與任務越多，就能晉級獲得新稱號，像是「戰士」主打街頭陸戰，「魔法使」負責社群空戰，「煉金術士」則是製作道具，至於「僧侶」是團隊最佳後盾。

"每天排班，看到有班就排，就獲得這個稱號，這是我們每天的MVP，就有一次我出隊的時候，然後有人來挑釁我們，為了保護我們志工，我擋在前面然後就獲得這個稱號。"
距離726投票日剩不到幾天，罷團希望透過遊戲，一起帶動大罷免熱度。
