Fastest Time to Stack 20 Dice Into Two Towers Team of Four 10.16 Seconds
What do you do on your birthday when you already hold the most concurrent Guinness World Records titles on the planet?
You grab some dice.
You call your family.
And you go after another one.
The official title is Fastest Time to Stack 20 Dice Into Two Towers Team of Four. The challenge sounds simple. Ten dice stacked into one tower. Ten dice stacked into another. Four people working together. Stop the clock when the twentieth die is perfectly in place.
Simple is not the same as easy.
Last year on my birthday I recruited my brother Jonathan, my sister in law Courtney, and our friend Andrea. We cleared the table, lined up the dice, assigned positions, and hit record.
The first tower fell.
Then it fell again.
And again.
Sometimes we would get the first tower solid and then the second tower would collapse at seven. Or eight. Or nine.
More than once we placed the twentieth die only to watch the entire tower crash to the table in the final split second. Nothing tests your composure like seeing victory fall over in slow motion.
Dozens of attempts.
Reset. Stack. Crash.
Reset. Stack. Crash.
But here is the thing about chasing records. You do not stop because it is frustrating. You keep going because it is possible.
We adjusted hand placement. We slowed down just enough to be precise. We communicated better. We trusted each other’s rhythm.
Then it happened.
Ten dice up.
Switch.
Ten more rising fast.
When that twentieth die landed and stayed, we all froze for a split second just to make sure it was real.
10.16 seconds.
The previous record was 11.39 seconds.
On my birthday, with my brother Jonathan, my sister in law Courtney, and our friend Andrea, we broke it.
It took persistence. It took teamwork. It took a whole lot of fallen dice. But it was one of the most fun records I have ever chased because we did it together.
Records are great. Holding the most concurrent Guinness World Records titles is an incredible honor. But moments like this remind me why I love what I do.
Sometimes the best records are not just about speed.
They are about family.
They are about friends.
They are about not giving up when the tower falls.
And on that day, it stood.
