The White House has removed the 'Build the Wall' game from its website, the page now returning a 404 error and cutting public access to the arcade title.
The short-lived game, posted as one of several arcade-style offerings on the administration's site, tasked players with stacking blocks to build a wall against a described "zombie border siege." The title drew heavy criticism online as racist after details of its premise circulated.
The Tetris Company posted on Instagram that it had no role in making the game and warned that it treats unauthorised copying seriously. "The Tetris Company was not involved in the creation of ‘Build the Wall’," the company wrote, adding, "We take copyright infringement very seriously."
Kotaku was first to note that the game's page was no longer visible, and checks now show the link returns a standard 404 error. TechCrunch has reached out to the Trump administration for comment on the game's removal and has not reported a response.
The administration's site still hosts another contested title, Rio Run, where players control a white male character whose objective is to deport multiple immigrant characters. That game remains accessible while Build the Wall has been pulled.
The sequence of events leaves the Tetris Company publicly disavowing any connection and the White House site without the contested game. The companies and outlets involved have put the game's status in the public record: an administration posting of arcade-style games, a rapid public backlash, a rights-holder denial of involvement, and a subsequent removal from the site.
