Converts the official [Games Done Quick schedule](https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule) into an automatically updated [iCalendar ICS file](https://aldaviva.com/docs/gdq.ics) and [public Google calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=ZThmNDEwMmU3MjFlMmExNDAwZjc4NmExMWU2MjlkZGQ4YTlhOGY5ODRiZjFmMjg4NGI5NmFmYjBhYWM2Zjk0N0Bncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t), to which your calendar program can subscribe.

Each run in the current GDQ event will appear as a calendar appointment comprising the run's name, estimated start and end time, category, the game's hardware platform and release year, runners, commentators, and host.

Every type of GDQ event with a published schedule is included: the large events Awesome Games Done Quick and Summer Games Done Quick; medium events [Frost Fatales, Flame Fatales](https://gamesdonequick.com/site/framefatales), and [Back to Black](https://gamesdonequick.com/site/blackinaflash); and small events like PAX and TwitchCon. The [Hotfix](https://gamesdonequick.com/hotfix) series of shows is excluded because it runs almost every day of the year and uses a different schedule.

All future GDQ events will also appear in this exact same ICS file when their schedules are revealed &mdash; you don't have to resubscribe to different ICS files every few months, just subscribe once to this single calendar URL and let it update forever. This is especially helpful if you forget when GDQ starts and it sneaks up on you, causing you to miss the beginning of the event.

The calendar is updated once per minute while a GDQ event is running, and less frequently the rest of the year.

You can either use my hosted service with the instructions below, or host this webapp yourself on any server with [ASP.NET Core Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download) 8 or later.

> [!NOTE]

> To prevent runs from appearing in an alternating two-column checkerboard pattern, you can disable "Display shorter events the same size as 30 minute events" in ⚙ › [Settings](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r/settings) › General › View options *(web)* or ☰ › ⚙ Settings › General *(Android)*.
