Guinness World Records: The Videogame contains 36 mini-games based on real-world record attempts. The player can select 12 avatars, and can travel around a globe-like map that allows them to select minigames. Beating minigames allows the player to unlock more minigames and outfits for their avatars. Minigames involve attempting to beat a world record as fast as possible, such as building the highest skyscraper in a Tetris style minigame, attempting the world's highest BMX stunt jump, and eating a jumbo jet as fast as possible. The player's score is placed on a scoreboard at the end of the round, and is then compared over the internet to other player's scores. The game shows trivia about real-life world records on the menu and during loading screens.
