To celebrate the new Guinness World Records Blockbusters! book, First News decided to try out some of the challenges for ourselves at GWR HQ in London. 

Hannah, Aaron, Dan and Charlie gave it their best shot at three different records: the fastest time to stack 20 LEGO bricks in a right-angle tower, the fastest time to match 20 emoji pairs, and the most soft toys caught blindfolded in one minute (for a team of two).

Check out the video above to see how they got on.
