Paktor Speed Date Night was witnessed and adjudicated on site by Mr. Mark McKinley from GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™. He shared, "Today, we broke the record for the largest speed dating event... we did have to disqualify quite a lot of people because they did not fill in the forms correctly. But I'm glad to say that today, Paktor and Sagiko managed to bring 484 (qualified) entrants together to speed date, which is a brand new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title. You are officially amazing."

 

The event witnessed a significant social media burst with hundreds of posts and check-ins throughout the night on the Paktor Speed Date Night event fan page on Facebook.

 

Paktor's Founder and CEO Joseph Phua commented, "The strong online presence of the Paktor Speed Date Night is an example of how Vietnam's youths are highly tech-savvy while socially engaged in the real world: A rare and valued characteristic that presents Vietnam with a bright future."
