Mecca Bingo Aim To Break World Record

Published On 8th November 2021

A few years ago bingo operators like The Sun and Gala had a lot of fun trying to break and breaking world records. Gala kicked things off with the biggest bingo balls and bingo card before losing their titles to The Sun. However since 2019 both brands have been beaten by a US Casino. Hoping to muscle in and become a record breaker in their own right are Mecca Bingo. Rather than opt for something with balls and cards they're hoping their players will get involved in helping them create the "largest online video album of birthday wishes".

How To Get Involved

To participate in this world record attempt all you have to do is record a 5 second "happy birthday Mecca Bingo" video. Just in case you're not aware the brand is celebrating it's 60th birthday and so there's plenty of celebrations surrounding the event. Once you've created your video simply upload it to the site. Note there are a few rules to remember. Your video should be no longer than 300 seconds long and 1000MB in file size. All participants in the video need to be over 18 and the words 'Mecca' and 'birthday' must be included. You're welcome to upload more than one video but each one must have different people in it. Full terms and conditions about the record attempt are provided at Mecca.

Free Bingo Session

If, after validation by Guinness World Records, the record is taken then Mecca Bingo will celebrate with a free £2500 Bingo session. We're not sure whether this session is exclusively open to those people who upload videos or just all players. So will Mecca join the bingo record breakers so that the free session goes ahead? Well we think it's pretty likely because as far as we're aware this is a brand new record. In other words no one has done it before - or if they have then it's not been validated or accepted by Guinness. What we do know is that what ever the final score is then other brands - and not just in bingo - will be looking to take the record for themselves.

Upload As Soon As Possible

Although there's no clear closing date indicated on the promotion we understand that the results of the record attempt will be made on the 13th November. Therefore we advise that you get your videos in as soon as possible. Remember they only need to be five seconds long so a quick video using your mobile will suffice. There's no need for any epic Hollywood blockbusters, editing or special effects. Apparently if you drop into your local Mecca Bingo club you'll even find a special 60th Birthday dedicated backdrop where you can do your video. If you want to know the outcome of the record attempt then be in club on the 13th or tune in to Mecca.TV via the usual social channels.

Video World Records

Although we can't find a record for the largest online album of birthday wishes/greetings we did discover that Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan (India) is the record holder for most birthday greetings videos received. They got 32,207 of them! Additionally there are similar video album records listed at Guinness World Records. For example the largest online photo album of hugs consists of 108,121 images and the record is held by GISHWHES from The USA. In terms of videos 51Talk in China managed to get 5035 people waving, Sino Food Anhong convinced 10,985 people to upload videos of toasting (not bread) and His Holiness Dr. Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji inspired the uploading of 40,976 videos of chanting. Other online video album records are listed for fist bumping, people saying the same sentence, reading aloud, blowing kisses and singing the same song. Perhaps Mecca's world record attempt will inspire other brands to give it a try too?
