Epic AGDQ 2025 Kicks Off with Live Music and Gaming Magic
The Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) 2025 event has kicked off with a bang. This annual charity speedrun marathon showcases some of the most talented gamers as they race to complete games in the most entertaining and unconventional ways. From playing with blindfolds to using unique controllers, AGDQ never fails to impress. This year promises even more exciting runs, including a live band performance with Crazy Taxi and an Elden Ring run using a saxophone. If you haven't tuned in before, now's the time to experience the thrill of AGDQ.
The Evolution of AGDQ
AGDQ, originally known as Games Done Quick, has been a staple in the gaming community for 15 years. Since its first event in 2010, it has grown into a massive live-streamed spectacle on platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Each year, speedrunners demonstrate their skills by completing games as quickly as possible, often in ways that defy logic and expectation.
What sets AGDQ apart is its charitable mission. The event raises funds for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, having collected over $3 million in 2022 alone. This blend of entertainment and philanthropy makes AGDQ a must-watch event for gamers worldwide.
Highlights of AGDQ 2025
This year's lineup is packed with unique challenges and runs. Here's a glimpse of what to expect:
- Crazy Taxi with a live band accompaniment
- Elden Ring played with a saxophone instead of a controller
- Super Mario Bros. Wii completed while playing the piano
