How to: Speedrun

Forget about Sonic The Hedgehog. The DreamHack Hannover will bring you a new definition of speed.

On Friday, the 15. December, from 13:15 to 14:30, one of Germany’s best speedrunners will teach you all about speedrunning video games. Witness Bisalina speedrunning Super Mario World live on the main stage before answering all your questions in a Q&A.

Can’t wait to try it out for yourself? We got you covered! After the Q&A you will have the opportunity to perform your own speedruns, including professional coaching.

Rule #1: Don’t blink!

Gotta go fast for charity

What is better than speedrunning video games? Speedrunning them for charity! Therefore, Germench, the largest German community of speedrunners, will be holding charity live streams at its own booth at DreamHack Hannover. The charity stream will air for the entire duration of the festival and all of its proceeds will be donated to a good cause. 

Germench will speedrun over 20 different games, providing more than 24 hours of speedrunning content to the DreamHack audience. The live program includes runs of The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Super Mario 64, Dark Souls and many more.
