Set a New Year's Eve record with the team

What if your company made it into the Guinness Book of World Records?
That sounds really cool! We were told as kids that New Year's Eve is a time for miracles. And miracles do happen. Let's take a look at the most unusual New Year's records. Many ideas can be borrowed for New Year's team building.

The longest letter to Santa

This record belongs to schoolchildren from Romania. 2000 people wrote a letter for 9 days. As a result, it turned into a scroll about 4 kilometers long and weighing 160 kilograms. Why, this is a vivid example of new year team building activities, when people are involved in a common cause.

The biggest New Year's Eve party

In 2008, the most crowded New Year's Eve party took place on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro. About 4 million people gathered to celebrate. The idea: throw the biggest virtual New Year's Eve party ever.

The largest number of snowmen

In 2023, Kazakhstan set a record for the number of snowmen. Residents of one village made 2300 snowmen, thus surpassing the previous record set by residents of China, who made 1700 snowmen. A great option for New Year's team games. A fun atmosphere is guaranteed.

The largest group of carolers

In 2014, Nigeria had the largest group of carolers ever assembled - over 27,000 people. They sang Christmas carols together in a huge square. Now, this activity format is sure to help keep remote and hybrid teams connected.
We hope these records have inspired you to create your own or you'll have a new New Year's tradition that will bring wonderful emotions and strengthen team bonding.
