How to Play Slope Unblocked 66 at School

Skirt the network blockers for some Slope action.

Anyone who’s ever been a kid should know that telling a kid they can’t have something will just make them look for workarounds to get it. When I was in school, I dodged the word filter with a website in Arabic to play Super Mario Bros.

It’s a little easier these days to get around school filters, though. For one such example, here’s how to play Slope at School.

How to Play Slope Unblocked 66 at School

Slope is a simple Unity game created by Rob Kay, whom you may remember as the lead designer of Guitar Hero. It’s a delightfully simple little experience; the ball rolls down an endless slope, and you need to carefully steer it out of the way of oncoming hazards.

A game like this is, naturally, popular with the young folk, especially during school hours. However, most school networks employ blocking measures to prevent students from doing that. This includes things like Flash blockers, word filters that detect words like “game,” and restricted search engines. These aren’t that hard to work around, though you may need to try a few different tactics.

  • If your school is using a word filter, look for sites that don’t incorporate words like “game” or “play.” You can narrow a Google search for such sites by using related terms like “Slope Unity” or “Slope Rob Kay.”
  • If your school uses a restricted site list (one that, apparently, is pervasive enough to catch any possible instance of Slope, unlikely as that is), you may be able to work around that using a relocation service like a proxy or a VPN. If it’s a public computer, you might not be able to install a VPN, but an online proxy might work.

One important note: if the computer you’re using doesn’t have an ad blocker installed on its web browser, make sure you get one. If it’s a computer you own, you want to make sure to protect yourself from any malicious pop-ups or scripts, which are unfortunately pervasive on sites meant to skirt filters. If it’s a public computer, well, ad blockers are important! Consider its installation a public service.
