Desert Bus 2022 raises $1.1 million USD in 166 hour stream

Desert Bus for Hope has broken its fundraising record from last year in a charity stream that lasted almost seven days. 

In total this year’s incarnation of the streaming event raised $1,133,895 USD (£959,944 GBP) by playing a lengthy 166 hours of the “very worst video game ever created”, Penn and Teller’s Desert Bus. As usual, the money will be donated to the gaming charity Child’s Play, who themselves give toys and games to children’s hospitals around the world.

Highlights of the event can be found on the official Desert Bus for Hope YouTube channel.
