Arcade game satirizing Trump’s Iran war appears on National Mall

  • A new arcade game, "Operation Epic Furious: Strait to Hell," satirizing President Donald Trump's war with Iran, has been installed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
  • The game, created by the group Secret Handshake, is available for free on three arcade cabinets at the War Memorial and can also be played online.
  • Secret Handshake stated they developed the game to highlight how the Trump administration has "gamified" war, citing the use of video game footage in official military videos.
  • The satirical game features characters from Trump's administration and includes elements like tweet battles against perceived threats and opportunities to collect "peace trophies."
  • This installation is part of a series of satirical art pieces by Secret Handshake, which previously included a golden statue of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein and a gold-and-marble throne with a gilded toilet on the National Mall.
