“ | You guys are the greatest idea. If you didn't exist I would have to invent you. | ” |
- Penn Jillette, co-creator of Desert Bus on November 20, 2010 |
Desert Bus for Hope (DBfH or DB) is an annual charity fundraiser. Organised by a large team of volunteers including many members of LoadingReadyRun, DBfH raises money for Child's Play by playing Desert Bus, a minigame from the unreleased Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors as long as people keep donating.
Background
The cast agreed to play Desert Bus for an hour for each increment of money donated - the amount necessary increased by seven percent each time the increment was reached. So the first hour would require one dollar to be donated, the second a dollar seven, and so on. The money earned went to the charity Child's Play which provides video games, toys and books to children's hospitals all over the world. To date (post-Desert Bus 2019), the run has earned more than 6 million USD.
Desert Bus generates a lot of its own tropes and terminology that pass from year to year. You can find explanations and origin stories for many of these in the Desert Bus Lexicon.
