November 4th
Extra Life 2024 

It's almost time for our biggest charity event of the year!

On November 8 we will be kicking off our ELEVENTH Codename Entertainment Extra Life, once again raising money for our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, the BC Children's Hospital Foundation.

We are very excited for the events we have planned for this year's 24-hour livestream - and we are very fortunate to have the chance to work with the legendary Jennifer Hale to create this year's Idle Champions Extra Life Familiar!


Welcome Back, Extra Life!

Since 2008, Extra Life has raised over $130 Million USD for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. The money raised is donated as unrestricted funds for hospitals to use as needed. And how does Codename Entertainment help raise that money? By doing what our community loves to do already: playing games together!
