The Americans were the first to land on the Moon, but the Russians were the first to receive the message. However, this message is unclear and is shared with the Americans' SETI. All they were able to decipher from cracking the code was, "We Come." Fast forward months later, reports of strange objects hovering over the skies of various cities all over the world. The origins of these crafts are unknown, but believed to be extraterrestrial. At this point, students, scientists and military experts struggle to find a way to talk back, and ultimately prepare for anything that could happen. Well, not long after the arrival of the Tetriminos, an attack commences and war is declared on Earth. The world must work together in a game of strategy called, "The Tetris Scenario" to take down the beings that threaten their home, as well as their very existence.
