Expert Statements
Todd Green, President, King
“Mobile games put fun in people’s hands every day, all over the world. So with 1,146 Kingsters in one place, we thought: why just play Candy Crush Saga when we could break a world record doing it? It’s a very King way to celebrate the people and community who make the game what it is.”
Richard Stenning, Adjudicator, Guinness World Records
“A GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title is all about celebrating extraordinary achievements, and seeing 1,146 King employees playing Candy Crush Saga together certainly made for a memorable record attempt. The energy in the room was fantastic, and I’m delighted to officially recognise King as the holder of this Guinness World Records title.”
