Ellen Page plays the Lying Down Game

She lies face-down across cement steps stained with chewing gum and wet with snow.
It doesn’t matter to Halifax-born actress Ellen Page where she lies down – the odder the spot, the better.
That’s the idea behind the Lying Down Game, originated by a couple of guys on the Internet who decided to take pictures of themselves lying rigid and face-down in strange places.



Their website has quickly gained a strong following, with people submitting their own wacky photos – to them and on Facebook – from around the world.
There’s no stopping the horizontal enthusiasts – a simple search online shows people lying down on top of horses, jet engines, bridges, in trees, and Canada Post mailboxes.
The 23-year-old Page, who posted the photos on her Facebook page, credits the website for the idea behind her own versions.
She and a friend take turns lying face-down on New York City streets – across empty, abandoned shopping carts, balancing atop giant construction cones, and even in a pile of garbage.
Although the game is meant just for laughs, it has gotten several people in trouble for doing it while at work.
In 2009, a group of doctors and nurses were suspended after taking part in the game during night shifts at Great Western Hospital in the U.K.
They reportedly posed lying down for photos, which were posted online and later removed, on resuscitation tables, ward floods and the hospital’s helicopter landing pad
