AGDQ's Corona Relief Done Quick Ends Today: Schedule And Biggest Games

Corona Relief Done Quick benefits Direct Relief's mission to aid vulnerable people during the ongoing pandemic.

Comments

In late March, the Summer Games Done Quick organizers were forced to postpone the event because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, because the speedrunning event moved to August, the Corona Relief Done Quick charity stream is taking its place. It is live now, and all proceeds are going to the humanitarian aid organization Direct Relief.

Beginning with Donkey Kong Country at 9 AM PT / noon ET, Corona Relief Done Quick schedule features a series of difficult games played by experts. Several of the segments will focus on beating the games as quickly as possible, while others will include a variable such as a randomizer or a particular challenge.
