Konami Digital Entertainment is lending its support to a special charity event in Crawley, UK, using its Dance Dance Revolution arcade machine for a 13-hour endurance Guinness World Record.
Chris McGivern, a teacher from The Oaks primary school, plans to dance non-stop for over 13 hours on October 23 to earn a place in the record books and raise money for cancer and cerebral palsy charities.
Adjudicators from Guinness World Records will be in attendance to monitor Chris’ efforts and have set a series of stringent rules that must be adhered to. He must start on the game’s Beginning setting and increase the difficulty setting every five hours, ending on the game’s Expert level beyond the 15-hour mark.
He can use any song but must take no longer than 20 seconds to select the next track and is allowed a five-minute break every hour, which cannot be banked for longer breaks. Should the game’s life bar expire, the challenge will end.
