The White House has launched Arcade.Gov, a browser-based mini-game site centered around Donald Trump's immigration and border policies.
According to IGN, the site features several mini-games based on classic titles like Flappy Bird.
One game, titled Rio Run, features Snake-style gameplay where players must link up prisoners in orange jumpsuits, with the system tallying the total number of "deportations" at the end of each round.
Other games on the site include Build the Wall: Zombie Border Siege, a Tetris variant where players stack bricks along the "southern border" to fend off incoming "aliens." There is also Trump Savings Tycoon, set in Washington D.C., which features item-catching gameplay where meme coins and cash replace traditional gold coins or fruits, with the explicit goal of "filling the Trump Account for your children."
The White House wrote in a tweet: "Build the Wall. Deport. Fill the Trump Account."
The fifth game, Supply Line, uses school lunch sorting mechanics: vegetables pass through smoothly, while any item labeled as "contraband food" by the game is knocked off the conveyor belt.
Related videos posted on social media parody the boot-up animations of retro consoles like the PS2 and Xbox 360, complete with a Sega-style logo reading "MAGA."
Government spokesperson Abigail Jackson previously defended this strategy, telling The New York Times: "Through eye-catching posts and viral memes, we have successfully communicated the President's highly popular policy agenda. There is a reason so many people are emulating our style—our message resonates with the public."
This is the latest example of the Trump administration leveraging gaming culture for political propaganda, a practice that has drawn opposition from copyright holders such as Nintendo and The Pokémon Company.
Earlier this year, Steve Downes, the actor widely known in the gaming community for voicing Master Chief in Halo, demanded that the Trump administration remove his voiceover from a propaganda video glorifying war with Iran. The video had been circulated on the White House's official social media platforms, and Downes condemned it as "disgusting and juvenile war voyeurism."
