Domino day did not occur in 2003, because the producer wanted to revise the format.

This usually takes the form of trying to bridge the gap(s) in an unfinished setup before the toppling dominoes reach it.

Upon reaching the first Slow Stone, its powder begins to drain (similar to an hourglass) until it becomes light enough to tip over, hitting the next Slow Stone to start its powder draining.

Outraged by the shooting, animal rights groups took court actions against the exterminator and the Domino Day production company Endemol.

Public prosecutors in The Hague opened an investigation and eventually issued a €200 fine to the exterminator.

Although the second Builder's Challenge failed, the record was broken with 4,345,027 dominoes toppled.

4,345,028 dominoes were needed to be toppled in order to break the standing world record.

Even though part of the final section of the piece did not fall, and three builder's challenges failed, the number of dominoes toppled was 4,491,863.

The flows for 2009 are: The American Dream, Latin Extravaganza, The African Life, Colors of Europe, Balancing Yin and Yang, Rough Ice, and Sun, Sand, and Sealife.

From 2010, until 2020, the show was officially paused due to financial and organizational problems.
