Liberty teens aim to break Guinness record

LIBERTY — Jonathan Weisberg, 18, of Liberty, and seven of his friends are attempting to get in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest continuous game of four square.

The current record is 25 hours, but Weisberg and his friends plan to shatter that time.

The eight players began Monday at 9:05 a.m. at Churchill Park and if all goes as planned, they will finish around 9 p.m. Tuesday.

“We’re aiming for 36 hours,” said Steve Wiesen, 18, who first brought up the idea of trying to break the record.

The eight participants are divided into two four-person teams. Each team will play in shifts of two to four hour blocks. After each hour, a five minute break is allowed, according to the Guinness rulebook.
