PopCap To Host Solitaire Blitz Guinness World Record Marathon
PopCap announced it will be hosting two people who will play Solitaire Blitz for at least 30 hours in order to raise money for the nonprofit organization, charity: water.
Fans of Solitaire Blitz can head over to the game's Facebook page to pledge money in support of the June 26th and 27th marathon, which aims to break the Guinness World Record for "Longest Videogames Marathon Playing a Card Game." The two players include a 68-year-old grandmother from New Jersey, who plans to log at least 60 hours of playtime in the next two weeks in preparation.
PopCap was acquired by Electronic Arts in 2011 and is known primarily for its flagship franchise, Bejeweled.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
