![]() A plastic tray provided with the game can be used to assist in setup. The blocks within each layer are oriented in the same direction, with their long sides touching, and are perpendicular to the ones in the layer immediately below. To begin the game, the blocks are stacked into a solid rectangular tower of 18 layers, with three blocks per layer. Blocks have small, random variations from these dimensions so as to create imperfections in the stacking process and make the game more challenging. Each block is three times as long as it is wide, and one fifth as thick as its length – 1.5 cm × 2.5 cm × 7.5 cm (0.59 in × 0.98 in × 2.95 in). The result makes the Jenga blocks appear like an upside-down pyramid resting on a single piece – an astonishing feat achieved in only two hours.Īnd the best part about this achievement? The tower stood for a total of nine minutes before Tai’s son knocked it down in a satisfying triumph.Jenga is played with 54 wooden blocks. Surprisingly, the center remains hollow where the first standing Jenga block is placed. ![]() The most incredible part of the tower is that as Tai builds, he expands it outwards from the single Jenga block giving it a physics-defying appearance! Advertisements This year, he managed to conquer it again with a total of 485.įor each attempt, Tai used several packs of Jenga blocks and stacked them in a very calculated and precise format.Īs one can imagine, it takes quite a bit of time and consideration to place each piece in the perfect spot so that the tower is not at risk for collapsing. ![]() Tai’s steady hands proved to be excellent for the task in 2019, initially breaking this record with 353 bricks. ![]() Anyone who has played Jenga before knows how incredibly nerve-wracking it can be to pull one block from a carefully constructed tower – so image stacking multiple pieces on top of a single standing vertical block!
