The 2019 edition of Summer Games Done Quick is now underway, and can be watched online at the GDQ Twitch channel. The 24-7 gaming stream began on Sunday, June 23, and will run into the wee hours of the morning on June 30.

Games Done Quick is a charity fundraising organization that raises money for charity via speedrunning. Volunteers play games at incredible speed (“Speedrunning”) for entertainment. The event is streamed live online, non-stop, and all donations go directly to the charity. Games Done Quick events feature runners playing games from every generation of gaming history. They play their games live, in person, and explain in detail the many tricks and glitches they use to get the fastest times.

Summer Games Done Quick benefits Doctors Without Borders, an international medical humanitarian organization providing aid in nearly 70 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, exclusion from health care, natural disasters, or malnutrition.
