Beast Games officially released on December 19, and Dexerto has a list of the rules for each challenge leading up to the $5m grand prize.
MrBeast’s Beast Games on Amazon Prime has been an anticipated series by his millions of fans. The competition took 1000 contestants and put them in a grappling battle to win up to $5m.
MrBeast spent $15m to build ‘Beast City,’ located in Toronto, Canada. Only the top 493 contestants made it into Beast City to compete for the grand prize. “As their lives will change, so will their bank accounts,” said MrBeast in Episode 1.
To ensure that the right contestants were eliminated, there were over 1,000 cameras monitoring the competition. With so many insane challenges, Dexerto put a list together of the rules for each challenge to follow as you watch.
Pre-game challenge
Before the challenges in Beast Games started, MrBeast asked that the 1000 contestants either take a deal to eliminate themselves for a cash prize or stay in the game.
If a contestant chose to eliminate themselves, they would be going home with money in an instant. Though everyone received the same deal, only 52 people chose to leave and made their departure with $19,230 each.
“Luckily in this show, I have unlimited money to give away,” MrBeast noted.
