Tetris distances itself from the White House’s ‘Build the Wall’ game

• The owner of Tetris criticized the White House after an arcade game titled ‘Build the Wall’, which mimics Tetris mechanics, was published on the official White House website.
• The game tasks players with constructing a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to repel a ‘Zombie Border Siege’, displaying a Border Breached message if players fail.
• The Tetris brand said it had no role in creating the game, emphasized its mission of bringing people together, and noted that it takes copyright infringement very seriously.
• A spokesperson confirmed that Tetris is currently reviewing the matter when asked about potential legal action against the White House.
• The release is part of a broader batch of White House arcade games utilizing pop culture imagery to promote administrative policies.
