This challenge is now closed, thanks to all who participated!
How many dominoes can you balance on ONE?! I challenge you to see how many dominoes you can stack on a single piece! Feel free to do multiple attempts, and keep breaking your personal record! Submit your best attempt, and I’ll put together a highlight reel for our next Collaborative Community Compilation :) Thanks to @DakSen for suggesting this challenge!
RULES & GUIDELINES:
🔹The base must be a single domino placed vertically to support the entire stack. Afterward, the dominoes used in the stack can be placed in any way you like
🔹Glue, tape, or any other adhesive may NOT be used to support the stack
🔹The stack must be freely built by hand without additional supports
🔹 Film your whole attempt as a normal video (not timelapse), from setting up the base until it collapses
🔹 After placing a domino, the stack must remain standing for 3 seconds for that domino to be successfully counted in your total. If it falls 1 second after you place the 99th domino, your total stacked count would be 98 dominoes. If it falls 4 seconds after placing the 99th domino, your total stacked count would be 99.
🔹Count the number of dominoes you were able to successfully stack on a single piece (Be sure to subtract the 1 base domino from your total count)
🔹 Tip: To make counting easier, when building, take dominoes from a separate container so they don’t get mixed in with the dominoes from the stack when it falls
🔹Optional Tip: If you will be filming for a long time, record it as a YouTube livestream to prevent your camera from turning off or running out of space
🔹 Optionally: Feel free to record an intro if you’d like! “What’s up Domino Community, I’m [name/username] and today I’ll be attempting the Domino Balance Challenge!”
🔹 Use a tripod (or prop your camera up on something) to keep the camera still when you film
🔹 Ensure that your camera is wide enough to show the entire stack as it gets taller without going out of frame
🔹 IMPORTANT: Film horizontally in widescreen (16:9)
🔹 Do not speed up the video you submit - building should be real time and unedited
🔹 You can do multiple attempts, but please only submit your best one.
🔹 Do not add music or additional watermarks to the video
🔹 Deadline to submit an entry is Sunday, April 5 at 11:59PM ET
🔹 Must be 13 years or older or have a parent’s permission to submit your video
🔹 Have fun :)
SUBMITTING YOUR VIDEO (2 steps):
1) Post the video of your best attempt on YouTube with the title format that includes the number of dominoes you stacked and how you’d like to be credited (name or username): #H5dominocommunity Domino Balance Challenge (200) - Hevesh5
2) Submit the video link at https://Hevesh5.com/submissions by Sunday, April 5 at 11:59PM ET for a chance to be included in the final video. NOTE: Please double check that you’ve followed all rules and guidelines!
As always, have fun with the challenge, and best of luck!
Other FAQ:
-Can I support the stack while building (lean it against something, build it in a walled frame, keep an extra supporting domino underneath it) then remove the temporary frame/support/domino? No, the stack must be built freely without any support.
-Can I place multiple dominoes at once or does it need to be one piece at a time? For example, can I place a stack of 10 dominoes at a time? As long as they aren’t adhered together, that is acceptable.
-Do I need to film counting the dominoes too? No
-Does it count if my camera stops recording? While it would be nice to capture the collapse, send what you have and we’ll see how we can use it!
-Should I keep building until it collapses? If you’d like! See how far you can go! We’ll include a compilation of both the build and the collapse.
-Is this a screenlink? No, no need to include an in/out line
-Are we following Guinness World Record’s official guidelines? No, this is just for fun. If you want to go for the official GWR, visit their website to apply for a record attempt: https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-dominoes-stacked-on-single-piece

Join our new summer screenlink collab! Build and topple a summer-themed domino screenlink clip, then send in your video to be added to the final Collaborative Community Compilation :)

RULES AND GUIDELINES:
🔹Use your imagination and build something that reminds you of summer or makes you think of summer fun! ☀️🌴🎨🍉
🔹The duration of the topple must be 5 seconds or less (the timer starts when the dominoes come in frame and ends when the dominoes go out of frame)
🔹Use white dominoes for the “in-line” and “out line” so it looks continuous when the screenlink clips are edited together. If you don’t have white dominoes, use yellow or any other color you have! No problem if it’s a different color.
🔹The “in-line” should come in from the LEFT side and the “out-line” should go out on the RIGHT side
🔹 Use a tripod (or prop your camera up on something) to keep the camera still when you film.
🔹 IMPORTANT: Make sure the first and last few dominoes aren’t shown. (Use 10 extra dominoes at the start and end that go beyond the camera frame
🔹Entries will be judged based on creativity and topple quality
🔹Only ONE is entry allowed per person (Families with multiple participants: please send an email to H5dominocommunity@gmail.com with all the entries and we will add them!)

![SIDEWAYS dominoes… good or bad idea? [CLOSED]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aOWD1vBdWHg/mqdefault.jpg "SIDEWAYS dominoes… good or bad idea? [CLOSED]
It’s time for another Collaborative Community Compilation! I challenge you to build and topple your most creative sideways domino project! Place the dominoes on their long sides and see how it changes the way they topple! Submit your falldown video, and I’ll put together a highlight reel for our next Collaborative Community Compilation :)
TIPS:
- TEST how sideways dominoes topple on your floor surface! You may need to adjust domino spacing depending on how they fall on your floor.
- Avoid very slippery/glossy building surfaces. This may make sideways dominoes more difficult to topple.
- For best results, build on grippy surfaces (non-slippery hard floor, carpet, yoga mat, etc.)
- I recommend 1cm spacing for sideways dominoes (a little over 1 domino thickness)
- When building turns out of sideways dominoes, ensure inner gap spacing is approx 8mm (1 domino thickness). If it’s too close, it may lock up when toppling. But again, test it to see how it works on your building surface!
- For maximum reliability, use 2 parallel 45 degree angled dominoes for turns instead of angling every domino slightly.
For inspiration, watch these amazing sideways domino videos by @Wdomino!

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD-DqQjXQ0k
RULES AND GUIDELINES:
🔹You are free to build anything you’d like, but in sideways domino style 😄 (build on the long edge rather than standing vertically on the short side)
🔹Your domino project should be majority sideways dominoes (I would estimate at least 85% are sideways)
🔹Normal standing dominoes may ONLY be used for domino tricks (for example, the “la ola” and “jumping rock” technique) and short lines of 5 dominoes or less.
🔹Builds should be 1 continuous setup (not a screenlink)
🔹Entries will be judged based on creativity and topple quality
🔹Only ONE is entry allowed per person (Families with multiple participants: please send an email to H5dominocommunity@gmail.com with all the entries and we will add them!)
🔹Optionally: Feel free to record an intro if you’d like! “What’s up Domino Community, I’m [name/username] and today I’ll be attempting the Sideways Domino Challenge!”
🔹 Must be a new video
🔹 IMPORTANT: Film horizontally in widescreen (16:9)
🔹 Do not add music or additional watermarks to the video
🔹 Deadline to submit an entry is Tuesday, June 9, at 11:59PM ET
🔹 Must be 13 years or older or have a parent’s permission to submit your video
🔹 Have fun :)
