  • The White House launched an arcade website with five games themed around Trump administration policies.
  • โ€œBuild the Wallโ€ portrays people crossing the border as figures in a Tetris-style game, while โ€œRio Runโ€ focuses on deportation and the Rio Grande.
  • Tetris said its company was not involved and warned that it takes copyright infringement seriously.

The White House has launched an online arcade featuring five games built around Trump administration policies, including immigration enforcement, the Make America Healthy Again movement and Trump savings accounts.

The Tetris-inspired โ€œBuild the Wallโ€ tells players to โ€œprotect the border from the coming hordeโ€ and hold the line against a โ€œzombie border siege.โ€ Players stack colorful bricks while small green and orange figures, representing people trying to cross into the United States, move across the screen.

We take copyright infringement very seriously

· TetrisThe company responded to the White Houseโ€™s Tetris-inspired game.

Tetrisโ€™s official account on X said the company had not been involved in creating the game. โ€œWe take copyright infringement very seriously,โ€ it said, adding, โ€œAt Tetris we believe in the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them.โ€

At Tetris we believe in the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them.

· TetrisThe company contrasted its stated values with the gameโ€™s theme.

Another game, โ€œRio Run,โ€ appears to draw on the administrationโ€™s efforts to stop unauthorized crossings of the Rio Grande along the Texas-Mexico border. Players patrol the river and โ€œpick up every crosser in the lot.โ€ The score counts the figures โ€œdeported,โ€ with captured characters appearing in orange, prison-inspired clothing.

The White House invited users to โ€œBuild the wall. Deport. Fill a Trump Account.โ€ โ€œSupply Lineโ€ asks players to sort school lunch ingredients while rejecting seed oil, coloring, additives and sealed foods. โ€œTrump Savings Tycoonโ€ asks users to catch cash and diamonds to fill childrenโ€™s Trump accounts.

Build the wall. Deport. Fill a Trump Account.

· White HouseThe White House used the phrase in a post announcing the arcade website.

A White House official described the site to CNN as โ€œan effort to further contrast between a culture of fun and winning and the dark socialist vision Democrats have for America.โ€
