Beast Games Season 2 has premiered on Prime Video, with 200 players vying to be the sole winner of a whopping $5 million. So you can stay up to date, we’ve broken down the results of each game, including the winners and eliminations so far.
Created by MrBeast, the competition series began on YouTube with his viral video ‘$456,000 Squid Game in Real Life’. While Squid Game already has its own Netflix reality spin-off in The Challenge, MrBeast later struck a deal with Amazon to produce Beast Games.
Season 1 debuted on streaming in December 2024 and ended with Jeffrey Randall Allen, aka Player 831, winning and taking home a record-breaking $10 million cash prize. Now, Season 2 has made its premiere, with a $5 million prize and plenty of twists along the way.
Unlike the first season, which began with 1,000 contestants, Season 2 starts with 200 players split evenly between the smartest and strongest competitors. Below, we’ve broken down each game and test so far. Due to the number of contestants, individual player numbers and names are introduced later in the piece. Warning: spoilers ahead!
Game 1 (Strong Team): Climb the Rope
- Players eliminated: 50
- Players remaining: 150
The Strong Team’s first challenge begins with all players standing on a raised platform suspended above a huge swimming pool, with a trap door in front of them. When the floor opens, each contestant must climb down a rope to retrieve a weighted bundle of colored blocks attached below.
Each weight is customized to be exactly one-third of the player’s body weight. Contestants must haul the weight up the rope, remove the blocks, climb back to the platform without falling, and stack the blocks in the correct color order.
The order – yellow, red, blue, then green – is revealed before the game begins. Any player who falls at any point is immediately eliminated. Only the first 50 players to correctly stack their blocks advance to Beast City.
Game 1 (Smart Team): Memory Blocks
- Players eliminated: 50
- Players remaining: 100
This challenge tests memory and perception rather than physical strength. Players are shown a tower made from a random assortment of colored blocks. After the tower is knocked over, they must recreate it using the blocks on their platform within a time limit.
Round 1
- No eliminations
Round 2
- 10-block pattern
- 30-second time limit
- 22 players complete the pattern and automatically advance to Beast City
The remaining 78 players compete for the final 28 spots.
Round 3
- 16 colors
- No time limit
- First 28 players to complete the pattern advance
Test 1: Familiar Faces
Before Game 2 begins, MrBeast presents the players with an offer: ten briefcases containing $100,000 each. Any player who takes the money will eliminate themselves — but their spot will be filled by a returning contestant from Beast Games Season 1.
Returning players selected:
- Player 380 (Deano)
- Player 974 (Gage)
- Player 424 (Courtney)
- Player 831 (Jeff)
- Player 830 (Twana)
- Player 539 (Akira)
- Player 566 (JC)
- Player 406 (Karim)
- Player 991 (Jeremy)
- Player 952 (Mia)
All ten returning players re-enter the competition, and Game 2 begins.
Game 2: Balls, Balance, Bluff & Blocks
- Players eliminated: 50
- Players remaining: 50
The remaining 100 players gather inside a room with a large white floor marked by a red ring, lining up in a circle with the Smart Team on one side and the Strong Team on the other. As the challenge begins, the floor divides into four sections, each representing a different game: Balls, Balance, Bluff, or Blocks.
MrBeast gives the contestants 10 minutes to choose which game to enter, with the catch that half of the players in each game will be eliminated. The player breakdown for each game is as follows:
Game 2 Round 1 – Balls
Eighteen players enter a dodgeball-style game, with only nine able to advance. However, the rules quickly complicate matters. A red line randomly appears on the floor, splitting players into opposing teams after they’ve been walking in a circle, meaning alliances constantly shift.
Players are eliminated if they’re hit by a ball, caught on the red line when the floor divides, or still holding a ball when a 10-second countdown expires.
The eliminated players are:
- Player 187 (Evonne)
- Player 25 (Eddy)
- Player 106 (Patrick)
- Player 29 (Solomon)
- Player 164 (Cindy)
- Player 154 (Josh)
- Player 539 (Akira)
- Player 180 (Autumn)
- Player 5 (Zara)
The results are:
- 9 eliminated
- 9 advance
Game 2 Round 2 – Balance
22 players enter the Balance challenge, with 11 circles appearing on the ground and contestants required to pair up. Although they can choose their own partners, MrBeast warns against teaming up with friends, as only one person from each pair will advance.
Each pair receives a heavy, glass heart, which has been placed on one side of a scale. Taking turns, players add a single rock to the opposite side, removing the pin after each turn. If the rocks outweigh the heart, the scale collapses and the heart shatters, eliminating one of the pair.
Previous rocks remain on the scale, though players may rearrange them. Pairs are split into yellow and blue teams, with a coin flip deciding who goes first.
The eliminated players are:
- Player 114 (Kellie)
- Player 125 (Aura)
- Player 160 (Mark)
- Player 197 (Michael)
- Player 135 (Aspen)
- Player 198 (Sarah)
- Player 991 (Jeremy)
- Player 75 (Asia)
- Player 159 (Celeste)
- Player 115 (Mario)
- Player 123 (Danae)
The results are:
- 11 eliminated
- 11 advance
Game 2 Round 3 – Balance
22 players take part in the Bluff challenge, played on a floor divided into four colors: red, green, blue, and yellow. Each contestant is blindfolded and given a colored mark on the back of their head. To survive the round, they must step into the circle matching their color within one minute – but the first one they touch is locked in.
Because players can see everyone else’s color but not their own, the game relies on deception. However, after multiple rounds where contestants refuse to lie to one another, MrBeast introduces Plan B: a box that randomly selects players for elimination. Each time the group declines to bluff, the box returns, resulting in further eliminations.
The eliminated players are:
- Player 406 (Karim)
- Player 10 (Sasha)
- Player 57 (Lawrence)
- Player 50 (Connor)
- Player 153 (Pelar)
- Player 46 (Nick)
- Player 35 (Vikram)
- Player 121 (Bella)
- Player 55 (OB)
- Player 49 (Luisitin)
The results are:
- 10 eliminated
- 10 advance
Game 2 Round 4 – Blocks
The final round of Game 2 takes place in Beast City, where 40 players are split into two teams. Suspended 50 feet above them are two green flags, and each team must stack blocks to build a tower tall and stable enough to reach their flag. Only one player per team can enter the sandbox at a time to collect blocks, adding a strategic element to the challenge.
The fastest Smart Team player from Game 1 is named captain of the Pink Team, while the fastest Strong Team player becomes captain of the Yellow Team. After selecting their teammates, the two sides go head-to-head. The Yellow Team wins and the Pink Team is eliminated.
The eliminated players from the Pink Team are:
- Player 11 (Johnny)
- Player 380 (Deano)
- Player 830 (Twana)
- Player 974 (Gage)
- Player 73 (Gary)
- Player 424 (Courtney)
- Player 74 (Hailey)
- Player 23 (Jasmine)
- Player 80 (Julia)
- Player 81 (Amethyst)
- Player 94 (Julia)
- Player 110 (Sonya)
- Player 28 (Andrew)
- Player 70 (Jessica)
- Player 34 (Jackie)
- Player 84 (Jesse)
- Player 76 (Hotheyfa)
- Player 15 (Christina)
- Player 68 (Chris)
- Player 39 (Rahel)
That means the Yellow Team – consisting of 20 players – advance to the next game.
Game 3: Obstacle Course
- Players eliminated: 25
- Players remaining: 25
For Beast Games Season 2’s third game, the 50 remaining players are split into 10 teams of five, with contestants choosing their own teammates before knowing what the challenge will be. Chandler spins a wheel numbered one to ten, with the selected team choosing another group to face head-to-head. Whoever wins the challenge will advance, while the other team is eliminated.
The twist? Players don’t learn that they’ll be competing in a massive obstacle course until after teams are locked in. Each matchup uses a different format, forcing teams to rely on strength, speed, trust, strategy, or all of the above, depending on the round.
Game 3 Round 1: Team Race
Each team sends one player at a time across the obstacle course. The first team to get all five players across wins, but if anyone falls into the water, the entire team is eliminated instantly. The teams who compete are as follows:
Game 3 Round 1 results:
- Team 5 wins
- Team 1 is eliminated
Game 3 Round 2: 1 vs 1
Players race one at a time across the course. The first team to score three points wins. Falls automatically award a point to the opposing team. The teams who compete are as follows:
Game 3 Round 2 results:
- Team 3 wins
- Team 8 is eliminated
Game 3 Round 3: Pick a Captain
Each team selects one captain to race head-to-head. If the captain loses, their entire team is eliminated. Players are allowed to switch teams before the race begins but no one does. The teams who compete are as follows:
Game 3 Round 3 results:
- Team 6 wins
- Team 2 is eliminated
Game 3 Round 4: Team Race (Money Twist)
Round 4 is the same format as Round 1, but with three $100,000 bags placed mid-course. Teams can grab the cash for an extra $300,000 total – at the cost of precious time. No one chooses the money. The teams who compete are as follows:
Game 3 Round 4 results:
- Team 7 wins
- Team 10 is eliminated
Game 3 Round 5: The First Five
Only one player from each team can attempt the course at a time. The first five players overall to make it across advance – regardless of team. Players can also use jousting sticks to knock opponents into the water. The teams who compete are as follows:
Players who advance to the next game:
- Player 162 (Tyler)
- Player 174 (Vance)
- Player 148 (Ian)
- Player 21 (Ethan)
- Player 194 (Bryleigh)
