Summer Games Done Quick 2013 is a speedrun marathon of 5 days. Experienced speedrunners are invited to complete a variety of games as fast as possible. The event is meant to collect donations for Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Please donate generously! Once it starts, it doesn't stop. Games are played continually for the whole period of the event.
SGDQ does a good job keeping the viewers entertained with a variety of games, prizes to win and giving the players various challenges to add in their speedruns. From any% fastest possible to 100% completion, each run is done in a unique way.
Special Events
During the marathons, there are several special events to entertain!
Prizes — Donate for a chance to win great prizes such as hand-knitted plushies, perlers, artwork, games, and even big grand prizes such as a real metal Master Sword, or a Wii bundle!
Donation bids for runs — As with every SDA marathon, you can donate for file names of your choice and for certain challenges in runs. However there are also challenges for different routes, character choices, difficulty levels, and more!
Races — If the excitement of seeing games demolished by speedrunners wasn't enough, then don't miss the intense speedrun races! Runners face off against each other to beat the game in record time!
Bonus Games — Throughout the event, opportunities will arise for some of your favorite games/runs from previous marathons to be showcased despite missing from the schedule.
