The specifics of the objections were not detailed beyond these categories. As a result of these objections, the ‘Build the Wall’ game is no longer accessible on the White House’s online platform.

The game was described as arcade-style. The ‘Build the Wall’ title suggests a gameplay theme related to construction or strategic placement.
