Beast Games is one of the highly anticipated and one of the biggest reality game competitions, created and hosted by Jimmy Donaldson, also famously known by his Internet alias MrBeast.
MrBeast is a popular American Youtuber, who created Beast Games along with co-creators Tyler Conklin, Sean Klitzner, and Mack Hopkins for Amazon Prime Video, where 1000 contestants compete against each other for a whopping $5 million. The show kicked off on December 19, 2024, and now, three episodes have been released on Prime Video with the fourth episode scheduled to be released on January 2, 2025, at 12 pm ET/5 pm GMT.
The highest recorded cast and prize money in reality game television history, the show has already earned a name for itself. But from the first three episodes aired, the reviews are pretty mixed, with people calling it a rip-off of Squid Game and not a match to the hype that the show created.
The first round of the games began in July 2024, with 2000 contestants, which was filmed at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and was released on YouTube.
The second part debuted on Amazon Prime Video on December 19, 2024, with the remaining 1000 contestants, which was shot at Downsview Park Studios in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

More on the release details for Beast Games Episode 4
Beast Games Episode 4 will be available on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday 2nd January 2025 at 12 pm ET/5 pm GMT.
Since it is an Amazon Prime exclusive, you can only access its episodes on the platform as of now. The game show will have a total of ten episodes, which will conclude on February 13, 2025.
Since every episode has a host of new challenges, in which players compete, either individually or in teams, nothing is certain about what challenges will the fans be greeted with in the next episode. Episode 3 had some fun and intense challenges, which you can check out in the next section of the article.
What were the challenges in Beast Games Episode 3? Mr. Beast claimed it would be 'ten times better' than Episode 2
After IGN gave Beast Games a low rating of 2 out of 10, it looks like the Youtuber took it personally and claimed that the show would get better after contestants were eliminated and only a few players were left in the end.
While many viewers have expressed that Episode 3 was better to an extent than the first two episodes, Mr. Beast had previously claimed that Episode 3 would be ten times better than Episode 2, and they have just started. There are enormous sets and intense storytelling in the show's further episodes.
Here are some of the challenges which were a part of Beast Games Episode 3-
1) The Sack Race- the players were grouped into three, and this was a warm-up game that had no elimination. The winning team was given a VIP house in Beast City, with a secret prize.
2) The Main Event- The main event of episode 3 found contestants in groups of three, confined in a cubical room for five hours. It had a handcuff pinned to the wall and a telephone labeled, 'Ask for anything'. The members were supposed to handcuff one of their team members to the wall before five hours ran out. Failing to do so would result in the elimination of the whole team.
3) The Golden present- A mysterious golden present was brought in, and the player who managed to touch the present first would win six golden tickets to the $1.8 million tropical island.
