We're live! The bus is out of the station and on the road, kicking off Desert Bus for Hope 2022. You can watch live here at desertbus.org and twitch.tv/desertbus.

We're raising donations for Child's Play, a charity that improves the lives of children through the power of play. Since 2003, Child's Play has partnered with children's hospitals and domestic violence shelters across the globe through donations, program grants, and, most recently, technology symposiums for child life specialists to share their knowledge.

So, how does this all work? Well, we're playing Desert Bus, an unreleased game that has you driving, in real time, from Tucson to Las Vegas. It. Takes. Eight. Hours. And just in case you thought you could just press the go button and walk away... oh no... the bus drifts to the side of the road, so if you don't keep it on the road it'll crash. This game is as boring as it sounds.

To keep ourselves, and you, amused the whole time, we have a variety of guests, prizes, and other hijinks. The more you donate, the longer we drive! 100% of your donation goes directly to Child's Play. (We don't receive your donations, but we have a tracker to see just how long this adventure will go for.)

Want to get involved? The most awesome thing you can do is just hang out with us here on the road by tuning in. If you want, you can also...

We'll see ya on the road!
