Her attempt is at a designated area of the SG Mall, where she has been provided with all necessary amenities to ensure her comfort and well-being throughout the marathon.
Per the GWR rules, Vanessa is expected to continuously play her selected video game for an extended period of time, adhering strictly to the guidelines set by Guinness World Records.
She is allowed short breaks at specified intervals to rest and refresh herself but must remain engaged in gameplay for the rest of this time. Entering the second day, Vanessa seemed upbeat.

Ghanaian singer 'unofficially' breaks GWR milestone
YEN.com.gh also reported that gospel musician, Leticia Hars, has unofficially broken a Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon.
However, social media users are concerned that the singer, popularly known as QueenLet, may have miscalculated due to frequent breaks.
Guinness World Records is yet to accept and certify her sing-a-thon record attempt, which took place over a combined five days just last week.
