Featured Blog: Going for a Guinness World Record

Be part of the fun as the Roseville Visitors Association attempts to break a Guinness World Record on Saturday, September 15, 2012 at the Guidant John Rose Minnesota Oval.

Officially we are going for the ‘LARGEST MOBILE PHONE GAMING PARTY’ which, by Guinness definition is: This record is for the greatest number of people playing games on mobile phones at a single venue.

Check out this YouTube video on Guinness atttempt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-nEIrUVirg

So if you own a mobile phone and have downloaded a game onit – YOU can join us in our record attempt! Any game will do - Angry Birds™,
Words with Friends, Tetris, Scrabble, etc. The record, set in April of 2011 in
the U.K. currently stands at 316 people, but we are looking to blow that out of
the water with 3,000!

We encourage you to bring your friends, dress in your favorite
game attire and get ready to be part of a world record!
