Auldin Maxwell, from British Columbia in Canada, has earned a place in the Guinness World Record books by stacking 693 Jenga blocks on top of a single, vertically placed block.

Maxwell revealed that it was his fourth attempt to break the record, which had previously been set in July 2020 by Tai Star Valianti in Arizona.

Maxwell admits that it took a lot of practice to perfect his stacking technique to make sure that his record attempt was successful.

He told CBC Radio West: "I created different types of patterns on the ground I could make, and then I tested it out and I will see which ones work and which ones can hold the most on stuff."
