If you packed your bags and headed home after the Occupy Phoenix rally, you can join the forces again, virtually, with the help of Occupy the Game.
The website, dedicated to sharing news about the national movement’s progress and demands, revealed an online, Tetris/Pong-like game where an Occupy protester must dodge items being tossed into the crowd by a group of police.
No fancy moves required to win this protest. To succeed, you must simply collect eight of each of the good items (bottled water, US Constitution pamphlet, and a dollar bill) and avoid being hit by two of each of the bad items (flash grenade, bean bag, or a round of tear gas).
The game ends in either your right to raise your sign higher — or your arrest. Test your luck, join the forces, and accomplish absolutely nothing on the Occupy the Game website.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
