Summary
- Tetris Company distances itself from White House game.
- Game mimics Tetris but has political theme.

The Tetris Company has issued a statement clarifying its non-involvement with the White House-launched game titled "Build the Wall."

The company publicly disavowed any association with the game, which features slogans such as "Protect the border from the coming horde." In its statement, The Tetris Company highlighted its core values, asserting, "At Tetris we believe in the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them."
Furthermore, the company stressed its vigilant stance on intellectual property, adding, "We take copyright infringement very seriously." It remains unclear if The Tetris Company has formally requested the removal of the game from the White House website. The game was part of a six-game collection released on the site.
