She’s the little blue Heeler dog taking on the world on everyone’s favourite kid’s show and now she’s smashing world records, too. On Sunday, June 2, hundreds of Bluey fans set the world record for the biggest game of “Keepy Uppy” in Queensland, Australia, overseen by adjudicators from the Australian Book of Records. A venue like no other, the record-breaking feat didn’t take place in one place or on a single playing field but instead across the entire state of Queensland, which, as every Bluey devotee will know, is the home state of Bluey and her family.

Covering almost 2000km of Queensland, 702 Keepy Uppy enthusiasts joined in the fun, a game that is well-known to Bluey fans because it features in a much-loved episode of the show. The objective? To keep myriad red balls from touching the ground. Friends and families rallied together, simultaneously gathering at various Queensland sites to show off their ball skills and channel their inner Bluey spirit – a little girl with limitless energy.

Mini-games of Keepy Uppy also popped up along the Queensland coast, including Whitehaven Beach in The Whitsundays and in country towns as far-reachi.
