On November 17, 2017, at 10am Pacific time, Desert Bus for Hope 2017 will begin. Desert Bus, the video game created by world-famous magicians Penn & Teller, is often touted as the world’s most boring video game. Players drive the titular bus from Tucson, AZ to Las Vegas, NV in real time, an 8 – hour trip. Upon succeeding they are awarded 1 point and the option to make an identical trip. While having no challenge, the players must pay attention otherwise the bus will crash. The live streamed event, filled with singing and dancing breaks, auctions, celebrity guests, has become one of the most successful online charity drives, raising over $3.8 million over the past 10 years for Child’s Play Charities. The more Desert Bus viewers donate, the longer the 24 hour-a-day fundraiser goes on. Last year the drive ran for 6 days and 15 hours and raised over $690,000.
