"There are plenty of passionate Scrabble fans out there, but it might be hard to top the stunt that two of them pulled to celebrate the game's 60th birthday. In 2008, two skydivers played a short but sweet game after jumping out of a plane high above Florida. Of course, to keep the game intact, they made a specially reinforced wooden board and super-sticky adhesive pieces. Other extreme fans played the game inside a lion cage and an alligator park." (Latham, 2020)
