## Where to watch
The show streams live on the GDQ channels on both Twitch and YouTube all week long.
## Not a 24/7 grind
Unlike the mainstage GDQ events, each day starts at 1PM ET and usually wraps by midnight. Check the daily schedule if you want a specific run.
## The runs to catch
Over 50 runs are on the slate. A Super Mario 64 Rogue Chaos 70 Star race lands Monday around 8PM ET, and an Animal Crossing lockout bingo race hits Wednesday around 7PM ET.
## Where the money goes
Malala Fund works to get girls worldwide into secondary education. Frame Fatales has raised more than $1 million for its charity partners since 2019.
