Activists in Washington have set up a satirical arcade game as a protest against President Donald Trump's ambitions for Greenland. The game, called "Operation Epic Furious: NUUK 'EM ALL," is currently installed at the D.C. War Memorial on the National Mall. The game's objective is for players to steer a digital version of Trump north while battling absurd foes like "Woke Yetis," fully vaccinated children, and Danes as they attempt to transform Greenland into a giant vanity project.
The game also sends players back to an Iran war scenario, a conflict they describe as unwinnable. The Secret Handshake collective installed the game, which was first unveiled in May with a similar Iran-themed setup, to address the White House's use of video game imagery to promote its policies. The activists chose an arcade cabinet format because it invites people to engage with a political message quickly and humorously.
They also shipped a fourth cabinet to Nuuk, Greenland's capital, so residents could experience the satire firsthand. The White House has not yet commented on the installation.
