250,000 Dominoes were toppled at Zeal Credit Union's Incredible Science Machine: Game On! This event features 3 new US domino records: largest domino field, largest domino structure, and largest overall domino project in America. 19 builders from 5 countries spent 7 days (over 1,200 combined hours) building the Incredible Science Machine. Watch our past ISM events!

Amazing!

Time for a little fun...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Wow...incredible. And to think I was happy with a single straight line of maybe 50 dominos.

Thanks for posting.

How in the world did they prevent accidental triggering of the whole thing? There must have been a lot of safety devices installed during construction to contain false triggers.

Clever and carefully done

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Looks like they worked from the inside out. To prevent accidents they probably pre measured short sections with no dominoes then would put them in last.

[Jonty30]

They probably put dividers between sections to ensure that any accidents would only affect what was between the dividers.

A similar subject with few dominoes;

Yes - I did watch the whole 14 minutes in morbid fascination.

Now here's what I want next -

I want to see one of these displays that resurrects itself.

(Perhaps a tiny wire string through a miniscule eyelet at the top of each
Domino that will pull it back up by the action of a heavy weight at the
end of the run. I haven't quite figured out how to redo the big fall-down
thingys yet.)

I’ve never done anything like this, but just guessing...

I bet they had to build everything twice.
First time just to make sure it worked the way they planned.

Got kids,...now there is a project!

[Randy Larsen]

Now make them reverse and stand back up!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

And a popgun at the end ....excellent ...for big kid fantasies.

[Salamander]

And some unlucky someone has to clean all that up.

No pizza? ;-)

I’ll be here all week

[FoxInSocks]

There’s probably an app for that.

[Telepathic Intruder]

To think it was either this or a manned mission to Mars.

The Kickstarter raised $1 million within 19 minutes of going live,

You'll never encounter a more brutal game than the pen-and-paper monstrosity that is Kingdom Death: Monster. Let's rattle off every one of its negatives:

Nothing really mattress.
