The White House took down a mass deportation-themed video game called “Build the Wall” from its arcade website this week, just days after The Tetris Company implied its design may represent copyright infringement.
The game was placed on the website as part of a larger rollout of themed games based on President Donald Trump’s agenda. In the game similar to Tetris, players stacked bricks to build a wall to prevent a “zombie border siege.”
Immediately after the game was posted to the White House website, Tetris pushed back, writing that the company was not involved in the creation of the game and takes “copyright infringement very seriously.”
“At Tetris we believe in the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them,” the company wrote on X. “To our fans everywhere: we love you, we see you, and we’re grateful to have you in our community.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Washington Sun. Other Trump administration video games, which also resemble popular titles, remain on the White House arcade website.
