The White House has removed a racist Tetris clone called "Build the Wall" from a newly launched "arcade games" section of its website, days after the game was spotted online. The game required players to stack blocks to prevent a "zombie border siege," drawing criticism and prompting the Tetris Company to say it was reviewing the matter. It is not clear why the White House took the game down, though the move follows scrutiny from the Tetris Company and media coverage.

Tetris spokesperson Kerri Brusca said the brand had "brought people together across generations and cultures through play and joy" for over 40 years and that the game's true objective was simply "to stack with purpose to clear as many lines as possible." Other politically themed games remain live on the site, including a Flappy Bird clone called "Flappy Bill," a Tapper-style game called "Supply Line," "Trump Savings Tycoon" and "Rio Run."
