At 10am CT (4pm GMT), Rooster Teeth will start its annual 24-hour stream to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in partnershipwith Extra Life. During that time, there will be several game shows to tune into, such as Whose Spot, The Spice is Right, Stinky Dragon, a live-action Operation game, and Scaredy-Cat Hour.
“Scaredy-Cat Hour will feature four Rooster Teeth personalities playing a scary game,” a representative tells us. “Various donations will enact scare alerts to freak out the players during this hour. The game is Demonologist, and BlackKrystel will host, with BlackKrsytel, Griff Milton, Blizzb3ar, Nick Schwartz all playing. These four are known for being scaredy cats with big reactions, which will make for a hilarious time.”
Demonologist is a co-op game in which you have to identify the evil spirits in cursed places before exorcising them. Think Insidious with friends.
Whose Spot? is a play on Whose Line is it Anyway?, the hit improv show, The Spice is Right is, as you probably guessed, a version of The Price is Right, and Stinky Dragon is a one-offDungeons & Dragonsgame, which now has its own puppet show based on the Tales From the Stinky Dragon podcast.
You can tune into the live stream at RoosterTeeth.com or via its YouTube and Twitch channels.
In 2021 and 2022,Extra Life came under fire over its collaboration with Magic: The Gathering. The two teamed up for a unique Secret Lair set featuring child-drawn cards, but 50 percent of all sales went towards the Seattle Children’s Autism Center, known for using Applied Behavioural Analysis which is used to “reduce challenging behaviours”. ABA has long been criticised by Autism advocates and organisations with accusations ofbeing abusive.
However, a Rooster Teeth representative stressed to us that “the Autism Center willnotreceive funds from RT.”
Rooster Teeth has always worked with Texas-based hospitals, but this year funds are being split evenly across all 170 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Additionally, 100 percent of merch sales will benefit Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, to recognize RT’s LA presence, in addition to a 20k company match.
Rooster Teeth has supported Extra Life for over a decade now, raising over $7 million, making it one of the top contributors. Between 2017-2020, it raised over $1 million per year, and in 2021, it raised over $900 thousand. It’s a huge leap from RT’s beginnings in 2010 when it raised $15 thousand.
