NewsMinute: Newsroom Game
60-second newsroom arcade
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Make the call in 60 seconds. Publish, revise, or kill wild newsroom stories before rumors, typos, AI fakes, and lawsuits bury your paper.
Run the newsroom. Beat the clock. Make the call.
Newsminute is a fast, fictional newsroom game where every story lands on your desk and you have 60 seconds to decide what happens next.
Publish the good stories.
Revise the messy ones.
Kill the rumors before they wreck your paper.
Every headline has a clue. Some stories come from official sources. Some are opinion, satire, public records, viral bait, anonymous tips, typo-filled copy, or AI-generated chaos. Your job is to decide what is safe, sourced, clean, and ready to go.
One bad call can cost money, trust, followers, or trigger a lawsuit. One great call can grow your audience, boost your score, unlock new desks, and keep the newsroom alive.
Features:
• Fast 60-second newsroom rounds
• Swipe-based publish, revise, and deny controls
• Fictional local, regional, weird, sports, weather, opinion, satire, and viral stories
• AI-generated story risks that grow more chaotic as you advance
• Legal review, undo, quota pressure, follower growth, and game-over consequences
• Unlockable regional news desks and future expansion paths
• Daily ledgers, legal fallout, score feedback, and newsroom progression
• Retro pixel newsroom style with urgent deadline energy
Newsminute is not a real news app. It is a fictional newsroom simulation built around fast editorial judgment, media literacy, humor, and arcade-style decision making.
Can you build trust before the deadline hits zero?
