Getting a high score on Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook is one thing – but this world record is something completely different.
PopCap games announced that a California steel contractor named Mike Leyde played a single round of Bejeweled 2, for 2,205 hours and 51 minutes over the course of three years.
In that time, he collected 4,872,229 gems, earning the game’s highest possible score, 2,147,483,647. Not only that – the score was apparently so high, that the score display got mad and went blank – maybe because it couldn’t take it anymore.
According to PopCap, Leyde is the first person to ever “beat” Bejeweled 2.
Here’s a video displaying his achievement:
