AGDQ 2024 will be held in support of Prevent Cancer Foundation, dedicated to cancer prevention and early detection. Viewers can donate directly to the charity during the event on the Games Done Quick website.
AGDQ is the start of GDQ's events calendar, which also includes Summer Games Done Quick and Frame Fatales events. Expert players from around the world highlight their skills by beating games as quickly as possible – often taking minutes to run through video games that might ordinarily require dozens of hours to complete. In turn, viewers share donations in a raucous livestream, the proceeds of which are given directly to the event's charity partner.
GDQ is accepting speedrun submissions for AGDQ 2024 from September 1-10. For more information, visit gamesdonequick.com.
