Speedrunning is the action of completing a play-through of a game as quick as possible.

In many games, there is a specific route that speedrunners take to make a gameplay quicker than speedrunning in a intended play.

An example of a speedrunning game would be Overcooked, a cooking game where you need to complete orders as quick as possible. This game can be played alone or cooperatively with others, if played with others you must play with a game plan and finish making food orders as quick as you can before the timer and your customer's patience runs out. It is a game that requires for you to know what to do or what to cook next, like boiling rice or cutting vegetables. The more orders you get in time before the timer runs out, the more points you get in completing a level. These points help you progress onto the next level or unlock new levels.
