National Academic Games Project is the oldest ongoing program of Academic Games competitions in the United States. The first tournaments took place in the late 1960s at Nova High School in Davie, Florida. Nova was the beta test site for Propaganda and other games. Today, many schools across several states participate, including Hancock County and West Virginia’s Weir and Oak Glen middle and high schools, South Park in Pennsylvania, Suncrest Middle School and Morgantown High School in West Virginia, and numerous Michigan teams.
