We've seen the #StayAtHomeChallenge, but are you ready to raise the bar? 🤔🧻⁣ ⁣ We're on the look out for the best toilet-roll-keeper-upper in the world!⁣ ⁣ With the ongoing changes around the globe, we want everyone to be able to stay inspired and have fun, while staying inside.⁣ ⁣ That's why we’re pleased to bring you the #GWRChallenge, a weekly record challenge we will be hosting across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.⁣ ⁣ A record holder will be announced every following Monday - but what do you have to do for this week's challenge? ⁣ ⁣ Simply follow our guidelines here: ⁣ ⁣ 1. Any brand-new fully raveled unused toilet roll can be used.⁣ 2. Make sure you’re standing for the attempt and after a 3,2,1 countdown start kicking the toilet roll on the feet or bouncing on your head. You can then use any part of your body to juggle the toilet roll except your arms and hands.⁣ 3. Make sure the toilet roll remains in the air between touches and if it hits the floor, a wall, a chair or anything else during the attempt the attempt ends.⁣ 4. IMPORTANT - Please use the toilet roll after the attempt and don’t let it go to waste (they're a precious commodity!)⁣ ⁣ We’re excited to see your best submissions and can’t wait to see who will become Officially Amazing!™⁣ ⁣ Link in bio and stories for more information! ⁣ ⁣ ---------------------------------------------------------⁣ #guinnessworldrecords #challenge #toiletpaper #toiletpaperchallenge #stayathome #stayhome #records #recordbreaking #new #breaking #trythisathome #athomeactivities
