Charity marathon returns in socially-distanced capacity
Unsurprisingly, the Awesome Games Done Quick team that thꩵeir first event of the new year, AGDQ 2021, will be an online-only affair, as the world continues to be rock𒁏ed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Much like last month’s SGDQ 2020 event, the week-long charity speedrun marathon will features players from across the globe showcasing their amazing gami🅷ng prowess from the safety of their own homes. Viewers🥀 on Twitch will be able to check out seven days of speedruns, while entering prize draws and, most importantly, donating money to a worthy cause.
Despite eschewing the usual haunt of the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel in Minnesota, SGDQ 2021 still managed to raise a very impressive $2.3 million for global medical network . All of the streams from the summe😼r event can be found bookmarked over on the website.
AGDQ 2021 will take place between January 3-10. Game submissions will open on September 24. Additionally, an all-women’s speedrun event, Fleet Fatales, will take place between November 15-21. For more info on all events, visit
With COVID-19 being a continuing concern, for the community’s safety we have decided to move to an online format with the same January 3rd-10th dates.
