Games Done Quick Express heads to TwitchCon 2018!
Our speedrunning marathon for charity will be taking place October 26 — 28 at TwitchCon in San Jose
Give me the details!
Games Done Quick will be at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, CA. It will be supporting charities participating in TwitchCon's Charity Plaza (details when they are announced). Tickets for TwitchCon, as well as the GDQx schedule, will be announced at a later date.
Runners!
If you are interested in running for GDQx at TwitchCon, we will be opening submissions on our website on July 8th (one week after SGDQ). Submissions will be open for one week, closing on July 14th.
We understand that many runners will not have time to prepare new submissions, given the surprise nature of the announcement. It is acceptable to simply update your submission as necessary and re-submit for this event. Runners who are selected for the event will be receiving a free standard TwitchCon ticket in order to run at the event.
