Delhi's Jantar Mantar Protests Inspire Satirical Online Video Games

Analysed 16 Oct 2026·17 sources analysed·New Delhi, India·Social
Delhi's Jantar Mantar Protests Inspire Satirical Online Video GamesPreviousNext

Recent protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar have inspired several free online video games that simulate the demonstrations. Developed mainly by 27-year-old Suraj Kushwah and others, these games let players choose roles as protesters or police, navigating challenges like crowd-building, barricades, tear gas, and detentions. Titles such as 'Jantar Mantar Chalo', 'Bhaag Neha Bhaag', and 'Jantar Mantar to Jail' incorporate elements from real events, using satire and AI tools. The games have gained popularity for their interactive portrayal of political activism and law enforcement dynamics.
