The format of Beast Games on Prime Video
Beast Games has a Squid Game-like format where players participate in various challenges. The contestants have to demonstrate physical and mental strength, strategize, form groups, and do everything they can to not get eliminated in any challenge and reach the end.
The last person standing would win the competition and the reward of $5 million, marking the biggest cash prize in the history of reality television. MrBeast initially selected 2,000 contestants who were then narrowed down to 1,000. This initial process will be made available to watch on YouTube.
The Prime Video show kicks off with 1,000 players who compete with each other in 41 challenges. Some challenges in the show include games like Hide & Seek, where the contestants have to save themselves from Navy SEALs who try to find and eliminate them.
Other tasks include high-octane stunts featuring monster trucks, helicopters, and pirate ships. The official trailer of the show shows contestants dressed up in blue tracksuits arriving on a fascinating set while MrBeast calls it ‘the most insane competition’ the viewers have ever seen.
As the players keep getting eliminated, the stakes keep increasing, and emotions run high among the contestants. There are also hints of betrayal, and twists and turns in the trailer, which are only going to make the show more engaging. The one who braces through all the 41 challenges, will be crowned the winner.
