ADGQ 2019 raised another record-breaking amount for charity

Awesome Games Done Quick has drawn to a close for another year. The annual speedrunning extravaganza came to an end last night, raising a total of just under $2.4 million (£1.87 million) for charity, after another week of glitches and Any% runs. The tournament kicked off with a Hollow Knight run back on January 6. Over the course of the week, speedrunners took on more than 130 games, with attempts ranging from a Dishonored: Death of the Outsider Any% run to an All Bosses take on Dark Souls III. There was even a nod to 1989 Japanese-exclusive classic title Garfield: A week of Garfield. The week drew to a close with a reverse boss order Super Metroid run, but not before a particularly lucrative attempt at Super Mario Odyssey. The penultimate run helped AGDQ 2019 break the previous year’s record once again - at time of writing, the donation total sits at $2,399,120, up from both AGDQ 2018’s total and the $2.17 million raised during Summer Games Done Quick, which took place in June.
