Flame Fatales 2025

Organized by GDQ's Frame Fatales community, Flame Fatales (and its winter sister event, Frost Fatales) highlights women and nonbinary gamers of the speedrunning community while raising money for charity. Frame Fatales is once again proud to be benefitting Malala Fund! Malala Fund is working for a world where all girls can learn and lead. Malala Fund advocates for resources and policy changes needed to give all girls a secondary education, invests in local education activists, and amplifies the voices of girls fighting for change.

  • Community: We have a server focused on comradery, helping each other with tech and speedrunning, and sharing information about speedrunning events and opportunities.
  • Game of the Month: Every month, we vote on a Game of the Month, where we collect resources and learn a new speedgame as a community. Past games have included Stardew Valley, Celeste, Hades, Waluigi's Taco Stand, and more!
  • Marathons: Frame Fatales typically has two events per year, with Frost Fatales occurring in February/March, and Flame Fatales in August. Past videos from Frame Fatales events can be found on the Games Done Quick YouTube channel.
