Vilnius, Lithuania, 6 September, 2024 - Cooking Fever-trained professional chefs broke the Guinness World Record in epic 10th Anniversary celebration. On the 5th of September, the highly popular time management game took its excitement off the screen and into the real world with a high-stakes event in Vilnius, Lithuania, in which top chefs competed to assemble the most burgers in just one minute. Nordcurrent, the developer and publisher of Cooking Fever, transformed the game's virtual world into a real-life competition, resulting in an unforgettable Guinness World Record!


Paulius Staliorius, the chef of Drama Burgers restaurant, grilled 11 burgers in one minute and was officially declared by the Guinness World Records representative as the fastest person in the world to achieve this. Until now, this record was held by George Butler from the United Kingdom and Iris Cazarez from the United States, who managed to make 8 burgers in the same amount of time. Staliorius shares that he never would have thought he’d hold such a record. "I had practiced a few times at work, so I knew I could definitely stack more than 8 burgers. I felt nervous, but once the counting started, I focused on the process," he said.


The burgers consisted of a bun, meat patty, tomato, and lettuce – this sequence was used to stack the 11 record-breaking burgers. At the event, chefs from the restaurant Drama Burger, Karolis Čygas and Paulius Staliorius, competed against representatives from the Meat Busters restaurant, chefs Sergej Kozlov and Arvydas Kieras.

Commenting on the successful culmination of the evening, Victoria Trofimova, head of the Nordcurrent game studio, stated:


"Cooking Fever has always been more than just a cooking simulation – it’s a community of passionate players who embrace challenges and constantly strive for victory. It's no surprise that this game is the most popular creation in our studio’s history. We are always striving to amaze our players, and by attempting to break the Guinness World Record, we’ve shown how impressively the boundaries between a mobile game and reality can disappear."

It was a celebration of culinary creativity and gaming innovation, bringing fans of both worlds together.
