Inspired by the dystopian television series Squid Game, the show – which is hosted and created by the biggest YouTuber of all time, MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) – challenges its contestants to lengthy rounds of high-stakes physical, trivia and mental challenges to be in with a chance of winning its landmark prize.
After Gage managed to win the coin toss and double the prize money, he made it down to the final three with Jeff and Twana, before accepting one of Mr Beast’s bribes to accept $1 million and walk away from the competition.
Split into rows of 80 players, one player in each row had to sacrifice themselves and leave the game so their fellow contestants could progress through the competition.
There were six contestants in with a shot at taking the prize, all of whom have survived the show’s intense challenges and who had to bribe their way into the finale with the cash prizes they’ve amassed earlier in the series.
If a player in a row didn’t self-sacrifice in the time limit, the entire row of 80 players were eliminated through trap doors, closely resembling a Squid Game challenge (although nobody falls to their death on this show, should we say).
