A Canadian teenager broke two of his own Guinness World Records for stacking Jenga blocks and became the basis for a Hallmark Christmas movie.
Auldin Maxwell, 15, from British Columbia stacks 1,840 standard-sized Jenga pieces on a block and also stacks 900 giants on a block.
The talented 15-year-old, who is on the autism spectrum, is also the basis for the Hallmark Christmas movie “A World Record Christmas,” which was released on November 16.
“When I got my first record, I knew I had more in me. I kept running out of Jenga blocks, which motivated me to push myself further,” he told Guinness World Records.
“I kept buying Jenga boxes until I found a number where I needed to practice a little more.”
In November 2020, Maxwell first earned the title for most Jenga blocks stacked on a single vertical Jenga block.
Four months later, he broke that record by compiling 1,400.
This year, he broke both records again by amassing a staggering 1,840.

Maxwell loves the creativity and challenge of the Jenga pieces he brings.
“It’s like having a unique set of blocks that allows for endless creativity,” he told the record book.
“For me, it’s an engineering challenge, and using it really taps into my creativity.”

Hallmark loved Maxwell’s story so much that it inspired the cable movie “A World Record Christmas,” which follows an autistic boy named Charlie who hopes to set a Guinness World Record with 1,400 Jenga blocks.
In the heartwarming holiday film, Charlie gets a chance to break records on Christmas Eve, and his family organizes a city fundraiser, with proceeds benefiting children with autism.
