GWR: KNUST student sets world record for longest video game marathon
Azoumaro The longest video gaming marathon has been officially set by Vanessa Salese, a third-year social work student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
After playing Ghost of Tsushima for 56 hours, 30 minutes, and 43 seconds—more than the 48 hours she had set for the record attempt in July—Vanessa accomplished the incredible accomplishment.
She is currently the first person to claim the title of the longest video game marathon for the Ghost of Tsushima series after the Guinness World Records team formally verified and confirmed her record.

The Republic Hall Common area on campus served as the venue for the marathon, which garnered a lot of support from friends and a team of monitors who made sure that all rules were rigorously adhered to over the 56-hour event.
In addition to showcasing Vanessa’s perseverance and self-control, her record-breaking accomplishment makes KNUST and the Ghanaian gaming community proud.
She thanked her fans and gave hints about upcoming gaming-related projects that will inspire young people to direct their passion into constructive, goal-oriented endeavors.
