This year’s Awesome Games Done Quick seemed to be over in a flash – and after some incredible Fallout anthology and Super Monkey Ball runs, I’ve found myself craving more.
Luckily, there’s another GDQ-affiliated speedrunning bonanza coming up, and this time it’s an all-women event called Frost Fatales.
Taking place between 23rd February and 1st March, Frost Fatales is an online speedrunning marathon showcasing a variety of speedruns by women. The schedule just got posted, and it looks chock full of entertaining runs. On the first day alone there’s Hollow Knight and Portal, and I’ll definitely be tuning in for Spyro and Tetris Effect. You’ll be able to watch it all via GDQ’s Twitch channel when the event kicks off in February.
Looking for more speedrunning after #AGDQ2020? Our next live/online hybrid event on Feb 23-29 is @FrameFatales!

Not only does Frost Fatales hope to promote women in speedrunning, but the event’s also for a good cause: with all proceeds going to The Malala Fund. Founded by Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, the charity aims to “break down the barriers preventing more than 130m girls around the world from going to school”.
