The Guinness World Record for the most number of people playing a single game of tag is 2,796 participants and was set by the city of Quincy, Massachusetts, USA, on June 4, 2018. The event was part of the city's annual 'Flag Day' celebration and was held on a field at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

The record-breaking game lasted for 40 minutes, and it was monitored by a team of Guinness World Records adjudicators to ensure that all participants adhered to the rules of the game. The participants were divided into two teams, with one team being 'it' and the other team trying to avoid being tagged. If a player was tagged, they had to sit down, and the last person standing on the non-'it' team was declared the winner.
