Arcade games satirizing Iran War appear at DC War Memorial

The satirical game lets players control Trump in an unwinnable war parody and is also available online, the group said.

  • On Monday, activist group Secret Handshake installed three fully functional arcade cabinets featuring the satirical video game "Operation Epic Furious: Strait To Hell" at the District of Columbia War Memorial.
  • The group created this game to satirize the administration of President Donald Trump for promoting military strikes in Iran by intersplicing real combat footage with clips from Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty.
  • Players navigate as Trump, engaging in "furious tweet battles" against figures like the Pope, DEI, and an "Iranian schoolgirl," while attempting to collect oil and Truth Social post ideas.
  • The arcade cabinets will remain at the memorial for a few days, and the game is also available online, accompanied by a plaque criticizing the "gamified" nature of modern combat.
  • This installation follows a series of satirical sculptures by Secret Handshake on the National Mall, including a statue of the president and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, continuing the group's protest art history.
