White House Removes Build the Wall Game After Tetris Complaint

A promotional arcade game titled **“Build the Wall”** that was briefly promoted by the former Trump administration has vanished from public access following a statement from the Tetris Company. The company, which holds the rights to the iconic puzzle game, posted that it takes copyright infringement very seriously, implying that the removal of the game was due to legal concerns over the use of its intellectual property.

The game, released in 2021, was designed to mimic the block‑stacking mechanics of Tetris while encouraging players to construct a symbolic wall. It was distributed through a limited‑time online platform and later made available on a few mobile app stores. After the Tetris Company issued its warning, the game was pulled from all platforms and no official response from the Trump administration has been released.

With the removal of the game, the brief venture has ended, and the Tetris Company’s statement underscores its commitment to protecting its copyrighted material from unauthorized use.
