What is the world record for the longest D&D marathon?

$begingroup$


I have been looking for awhile to find the world record for the longest Dungeons and Dragons marathon because me and my friends had a plan to try and attempt to beat it and give the money from the stream (if we get any) to my school's Gaming and Anime Club. So if you have the answer to this question please leave an answer.

The record seems to be 209 hours.



According to this Reddit post, Reddit user JustOneAmongMany asked Guinness about an alleged 1985/6 record. Guinness responded on September 4, 2018 with this message:




Thank you for contacting Guinness World Records.



A search of our database shows two Dungeons & Dragons endurance
records from that general time period:



From June 30th through June [sic] 3rd, 1986, a team of eight players (six
finished) played for 66 hours in Ilford, Essex.



A team in Ogden, Utah then got the record for a 1983 game that lasted
209 hours.




If you want more information, you should contact Guinness here.

    $begingroup$

    This thread suggests that the record was/is 100 hours




    in Dragon issue # 80, pg 54 it states that four members of the Broward Game Players Club in Hollywood FL played D&D for 100 hours straight.




    However that was back in 1983, so it might have been broken since then.
