MrBeast’s “Beast Games” has achieved remarkable success, breaking over 40 Guinness World Records during its production. Notable records include the largest cash prize in a game show, the most contestants on a competition show, and the most cameras used in a production.
The show premiered on Amazon Prime on December 19, 2024, featuring 1,000 contestants competing for a $5 million grand prize—the largest in competition show history.
Despite its success, “Beast Games” faced controversies, including allegations of poor conditions and a class-action lawsuit from some contestants. MrBeast addressed these claims, describing some as “disinformation” and stating he could not discuss ongoing legal matters.
The show has been well-received, topping Amazon Prime’s most-watched list. New episodes are released weekly, with the season finale scheduled for February 13, 2025.
