A gamer in Hungary broke the Guinness World Record for playing Dance Dance Revolution by playing continuously for six days. They burned an incredible 22,000+ calories while doing it!
Marathons, whether you’re running 26.2 miles or playing a challenging video game, are incredibly difficult. Both require immense stamina and push you to your absolute limits.
Szabolcs ‘GrassHopper’ Csépe, a 34-year-old who’s played Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) for two decades, wondered what would happen if the game and real-world athleticism combined. He aimed to achieve something remarkable and make his mark on DDR history.
In 2024, players achieved an incredible feat by playing Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) for 144 hours straight. This set a new world record, not just for rhythm games, but for the longest video game marathon ever played.
New Dance Dance Revolution Guinness World Record
Csépe, an IT engineer, set a new record in October 2024 by dancing non-stop for six days. During the incredible marathon, he danced to over 3,000 songs and burned an impressive 22,000+ calories.
A recent interview with Guinness World Records detailed the many challenges encountered during their record attempt. They found that keeping their energy levels up – refueling the body – was particularly difficult.
After several practice runs with a small team, the next step was figuring out how to keep everyone properly fed and hydrated. Csépe couldn’t afford to stop for meals; he needed to maintain a constant pace.
“Standing for long hours is not something that humans are designed for,” he said.
Csépe was already a record-holder in the gaming world before his impressive DDR performance. He’d previously achieved the longest marathon playtimes for a puzzle game, a racing game, and a Naruto game, proving his endurance and skill.
Carrie Swidecki from the United States used to hold the record for the longest continuous Just Dance session, playing for an incredible 138 hours straight in 2015.
