Licenseathon is back for 2025! We're very excited to return for our fifth year of licensed speedrunning fun; Join us once again this summer as we speed through movie tie-ins, advergames, and cartoon adaptations all in support of the Transgender Law Center.

"What's a licensed game," you ask? Licensed games are based on an existing franchise, like movies or TV shows. They aren't limited to movie adaptations though! Advergames like Chex Quest and celebrity pieces like Michael Jackson's Moonwalker also count! If you're not sure and want to submit a game, come ask us in our Discord server.
