The game went on for 28 hours and ended up with 13 layers, for a maximum height of about 20 feet. However, one guy named Kelvin (aka the Menga Man) has mastered the art of stacking the wooden pieces. Playing the classic Jenga game would test the nerves of even the most steady-handed individuals. Guy Breaks His Own World Record by Balancing 1,512 Jenga Pieces on a Single Block. Kelvin the Menga Man (previously) amazingly broke his own world record of 1,002 stacked blocks by balancing an incredible 1,512 Jenga blocks onto a single vertical block. What is the world record for stacking blocks? What is the world record for the tallest tower?īreaking records At 828 m (2,716 ft 6 in) tall, the Burj is more than twice the height of the Empire State Building, and almost three times the size of the Eiffel Tower.
In addition to acknowledging Auldin for his record-breaking structures, Guinness World Records also featured him in an April 22 story titled Autism Acceptance Month: Celebrating two brilliant young record holders. “I don’t know how he remains as calm as he does.” “He makes it look easy and has nerves of steel,” said Murray. Murray explained watching her son as he builds the towers, and how they have to be readjusted and steadied in the process, can be nerve wracking.
Kelly Murray, Auldin’s mom, said Guinness World Records recently viewed videos of the construction of both of Auldin’s Jenga towers and confirmed both records, noting he also managed to construct a tower with 699 giant blocks, though that effort wasn’t documented.

On March 27, he built a tower of 1,400 regular-sized Jenga blocks on one vertical block. The toy and game company sent Auldin 24 packs of their giant Jenga blocks so that he might try breaking another record. In addition to getting his name in the Guinness Book of World Records, the Shuswap Middle School student also caught the attention of Hasbro, the company that produces Jenga. In January of this year, Auldin Maxwell’s talent for stacking Jenga blocks earned him a world record when he constructed a tower of 693 blocks on a single vertical one. A Salmon Arm youth’s knack for breaking world records earned him special attention during Autism Acceptance Month.
