Students try to set Twister record

FARGO, N.D. — With lots of stretching and reaching toward blue, red, yellow and green circles, some 450 high school students played Twister on 180 mats in what they hope will set a world record for the largest Twister game board.

Sunday’s night attempt took place during a conference held over the weekend by North Dakota DECA, a high school business club.

State DECA adviser Kevin Reisenauer of Bismarck was confident. “We will break the record.”

The students won’t know for sure until Guinness World Records reviews the attempt.

The mats formed a Twister board measuring 4,699 square feet. The current Twister board record was set in April 2005 in the Netherlands, at 2,453 square feet.
