PeaceMaker is a turn-based strategy game developed by ImpactGames, which simulates the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Peacemaker players choose to be either the leader of Israel or the Palestinian Authority, along with accepting the social, political, and military responsibilities this entails. Through the use of accurate and sensitive contextual information, and news articles and videos, PeaceMaker offers a realistic, and empathetic, vehicle into one of the most pressing situations in the world. In November 2007, on the day of the international peace summit in Annapolis, the Peres Center for Peace distributed 100,000 copies of the game in Israel and the West Bank.
The game is available for Windows and Mac OS X.
A demo version is available for download at its official website.
