Current Challenge

We’re thrilled to launch our latest challenge – and this one is a BIGGIE! We need your help to invent something that could be a Guinness World Records Title Attempt.

We’re on the hunt for record-breaking invention ideas – they could aim to set a brand new record, or smash an existing one. Think biggestfastesttallestlongest – you get the idea! If it can be measured and is fun to watch, we want to see it.

The best record-breaking ideas are:
– Easily measured or counted
– Something someone else can try and beat later
– Fun and exciting!

Your invention could inspire a brand-new world record – so get your thinking caps on and get inventing! Challenge closes on 31st July. The chosen attempt will be brought to life by Ruth and Shawn – if it is successful, then it may feature in the 2027 edition of the Guinness World Records book.

This challenge is kindly supported by Accu and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition 1851.
