Canadian Corn Maze QR Code Breaks Guinness World Record
By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com
A family in Lacombe, Alberta has just created the world’s largest QR code made up of an elaborate corn maze design. Not only is the QR a masterful piece of artwork, it actually works too! The QR code when scanned will send people to the Kraay’s family farm website. However, the only way to scan the QR code is through scanning it from a helicopter. The QR code corn maze is approximately 29,000 meters (1.1 square miles) and is making its way into this year’s Guinness Book of World Records.
The Kraay family runs an agritourism business and has been growing corn and creating corn mazes for the past 13 years. Some of their previous corn maze designs have been maps of Alberta, Canada and hockey team logos for the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames.
The previous claimed world’s largest QR code was featured on a Japanese apartment building and was made up of a 15.3- x 14.58-meter banner.
