What is the Jenga record?

The usual time to play one Jenga game is two minutes for set-up time and between 5 to 15 minutes play duration.

After Thoughts 

The latest and fastest world record to play the game successfully was in 2014 in only 2:51 minutes.

Will there be a new world record to beat this figure? This, for now, remains to be seen. It would be such a feat to be able to challenge the existing 2:51 minutes.

But, who knows? With Jenga, the possibilities are boundless and infinite!
