White House Pulls Tetris‑Inspired "Build The Wall" Game After Copyright Clash

The White House website has removed its Tetris‑style "Build The Wall" minigame after the Tetris Company raised copyright concerns. The game, which let players stack bricks to protect a border, was part of a series of arcade‑style games on the presidential site.

The crackdown follows a September 4 tweet from the official Tetris account noting the firm had no involvement with the game's creation and it takes infringement "very seriously". The White House has declined to comment on the removal or provide a statement.

While the "Build The Wall" game is gone, other titles—such as Flappy Bill and Rio Run—remain on the site's mini‑game section, continuing the trend of political messaging embedded in playful formats.

The situation highlights ongoing tensions around the intersection of gaming culture and official government communications.
