Extra Life has been a staple event at KIXEYE for the past 3 years and this fall the team took things even further by hosting employees and friends at our offices in Portland and San Francisco. This 24-hour gaming marathon benefits the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and has grown exponentially over the past 6 years with over $5.5 million dollars donated in 2014. Overall Team KIXEYE raised $7,472, with Nick Heilmann and Randi Harper taking top spots for the most money raised.
The day started in Portland with Eric streaming TOME. The stream was so popular that it was featured by Raptr, with over 200 people watching at one time. After that, the stream featured a mix of video games: Mario Kart, Gauntlet, Amnesia, and some Speedrunners.
Off stream participants enjoyed a variety of board games including Seven Wonders, Eclipse, and Pathfinder while noshing on pizza, homemade Extra Life cookies, and copious amounts of caffeine. Next year the goals will be even higher, so get your game face ready!
