Yes, Prime Minister is based on the television series of the same name, and it plays like a text adventure. Playing as British prime minister Jim Hacker, the player starts out with a 50 percent approval rating and must work over a five-day period to improve the poll number. The player is aided by Hacker's secretaries, Humphrey Appleby and Bernard Woolley. The game is played through conversations between Hacker and other characters, such as Humphrey and Bernard, with the player continually selecting responses from a list of dialogue options. The outcome of the storyline can vary depending on the response that has been selected.

Gameplay takes place in Hacker's office, which includes various items such as an intercom, a telex machine, and two telephones. The player must answer a telephone when it rings and must also keep track of the time to avoid missing appointments with government officials. Scheduled meetings are written down in Hacker's diary. Other duties including reading memos that occasionally come in to Hacker's office. Poll numbers are accessible in a safe hidden behind a Union Jack flag.
