2,000 People Fight For $5,000,000

I am sitting on 5 million dollars in cash and competing for it. Open the gates! Are these two thousand contestants!

What you are witnessing is just the start of something never before seen in history. 2000 people are about to battle in a series of trials for a spot in my ten episode Prime Video series called Beast Games. Ladies and gentlemen, look to your left and look to your right.

1000 of you will be eliminated by the end of this video. But for the other half of you moving on to Beast Games, one of you will walk away with a life-changing, record-shattering grand prize of 5 million dollars. And our first game is.

. . Drp the curtains!

The first challenge of these trials is gonna test your strength. - 10 thousand? !

- What? ! My arms hurt looking at that.

I need all of you to split up into five groups of 400. Whichever group is the last to lift that 10,000 pound boulder across that finish line is eliminated. Let's go!

Group up! Group up! We got a strategy going.

The strong ones are at the front. This team was made to break backs, break dreams and crush spirits. I'm going to be so for real, I don't think I'm cut out for this.

400 of you are about to be eliminated. Home is not an option. Guys, this is for $5 million!

We don't want to be the first out. Three! Two!

One! Go! Pull!

You got it! Go! We got it.

Pull! Holy crap, Jonathan, pull! Run.

Run! Run! Run to the front!

Pull! Let's go! Last boulder to touch the top is eliminated.

Let's go! Run! Run!

Oh! Oh my gosh, that was insanely quick. Let's go green!

Three teams reached the finish line. It's down to yellow and red. Which one of you is going home?

- Come on, red! - Come on, we're losing! One, two, pull!

No! We're doing it wrong! We’re doing it so– Keep going!

Run! We have to go backwards. No!

That's yellow. Oh, no. Red just lost out on this chance to win 5 million dollars.

Oh, man. That was my one thing I told myself I did not want to be eliminated first round. Red team, I'm sorry you got eliminated, but to make it feel a little better.

. . We're going to give you $2,000 for competing.

And that goes for all of you. Every single one of you will receive $2,000 just for showing up. That's right.

It's three minutes into the video, and we've already given away $800,000. And with a total of 2000 contestants competing, that means we're giving away $4 million throughout Beast Games just for contestants showing up. So as these trials were heating up and some people chose to go home early– It really is my time to step out.

24 hours I did it. I did a day. At least they got to walk away with $2,000, which might be a big brain move, because these trials are only going to get more intense.

Congratulations on passing the first challenge. Don't you just love your teams? Yellow team, don't you love each other?

Green! Orange! Pink!

Unfortunately for challenge two, your teammates will be your opponents. Bring out the briefcases. Only pink team, stand around the red border.

Come on over. In front of you is a sea of briefcases. Some say eliminated.

Some say saved. On the jumbotron, we are going to quickly show which briefcases are safe and which are eliminated. Your goal is to memorize where the safe briefcases are and claim one before someone else does.

Think fast and run faster because of the 400 people on each team 50 of you will be ending up with an eliminated briefcase. Alright, reveal the map. Okay.

The second row. Seven. That's row number seven.

I hope all of you have a briefcase in mind. Three! Two!

One! Go! Oh it’s like a sea of people.

Oh, okay. Oh my God. Hopefully, this is what I think it is.

And if it's not, then I'm gonna find someone to blame. - What's in that case? - I have no clue what's in here.

So your chance to win $5 million completely relies on this case either being safe or eliminated. And you have no clue. Yeah.

Best of luck. Now that everyone has a case, it is time to find out what your fate is. Will that briefcase in front of you let you move on.

Or will it be costing you this life changing $5 million? Three! Two!

One! Reveal! - Congratulations to the 350 of you that see green.

But to the 50 of you that see red, you have been eliminated. I'm sorry, but I need you to head over to the exit. I thought I was safe.

I was not expecting this. I thought I was going in far. I am safe.

I'm actually safe! I did it. I'm safe.

This is so amazing. Pink team. You can head back to your lane.

Eliminated players, collect your $2,000 and head out. With 50 players already eliminated from the pink team, we shuffle the briefcases in a new order and send orange team to the same fate. Alright orange team, I hope you're all ready for this.

Throw up the map! You guys take the early ones, I'll go far. Okay.

I'm really nervous. We're going. One.

Two. Three. Four.

Three! Two! One!

Go! - Oh my God! I’m shaking.

- Do you trust them? I’m really praying this is good. Let's see who's going on to compete for $5 million.

Open them up! What’d you get? Yes!

Yes! Let’s go! Let's go!

With the orange team winners moving on, we, of course, gave the eliminated players $2,000 each. - Thank you so much. - Thank you for coming out.

- Oh my gosh. - And send green up to the chopping block. Reveal the map!

- I'm going for this one right here. - I'm gonna go over there. Yellow.

You guys nervous back there? Make sure you pay attention. It's very important.

Look at all of them. They're all studying it as hard as they can. Go!

- Yes! - Yes! Three!

Two! One! Reveal!

What did you get? While another 50 players were lost from the green team, I had something extra diabolical in store for this final round. Yellow team, remember when I told you to pay attention?

Yellow, make sure you pay attention. It's very important. You guys are going to use the same pattern green used.

But we're only gonna show the map for a couple seconds. - Man, I can't believe this. - This is not it.

This is so ridiculous. Everybody stand around the edge. That’s it, we’re locking in.

Flash the map! I'm going for that one. I'm going to that first one.

Go! Everybody’s strategy on this one was just to run. Nobody down there looks confident at all.

Alright. Everyone has a briefcase. Let's find out if you're competing for $5 million.

. . or heading out.

Three! Two! One!

Open your briefcase. Oh my gosh! Yeah!

Let’s go! For those of you that got green, you are all moving on to the next challenge! - I've got a question!

- What? How does it feel to be winners? And that is the end of challenge number two.

Let's get some rest before the next challenge. Man, a long day. I finally get to sleep.

We're sleeping here by the money. We're trying to manifest it. We ride together.

We sleep together. We win together. Sleep well, everyone.

You're going to need your strength for this next challenge. I will do whatever it takes for my family and for my tribe. I don't think there's anything I wouldn't do to win this money.

Congratulations to all fourteen hundred of you for making it this far. We have two more challenges in this audition for my new Prime Video show Beast Games. The rules for challenge three are simple.

We are placing flags across the playing field in front of you. You will need to capture a flag in order to move on. There's fourteen hundred of you and eleven hundred flags.

This means 300 of you will be eliminated. So we'll be setting out a different number of flags each round until all eleven hundred have been captured. But once you cross the red line, you have to capture a flag or you’re eliminated.

You get a flag or you go home. No $5 million. Run as fast as I can.

Get to a flag. Snatch it as quick as possible. There's only ten flags on the field for this first round, and there's a lot more than ten of you.

So if you're not fully committed to go now, - it's your last chance to step back and wait for a better chance in the later round. I will not go on the first round. Not go on the second round.

Smart. Not go on the third round. Alright, we're about to start round one.

What if you both go for the same flag? He better be faster. As soon as I blow this horn, the round will begin.

- Oh! - Oh, look! Oh!

They're running! Oh! He's going.

He's going! Barely anybody went. Oh look those two are racing for flag one.

We got a collision. Yeah! Let's go, number ten.

Let's go, number ten, baby! Ten flags were captured and two people are eliminated. Thank you for coming out.

And for the ten of you who captured a flag, Congratulations! You secured a spot in our next challenge. Only 12 people went for this.

Yeah, people are way smarter than I thought I thought hundreds of people were gonna go. We started off a little tame. Now let's get crazy.

For the second round, we're gonna bring out 50 flags. A lot of people are about to be eliminated. - You're all going this time?

- Yes. - You’re calling out your flag? - Yes.

I got 47. Do not go to 49. We got 24.

I've been calling 24. They're all picking flags. They're all trying to be strategic.

But, if one person is not on the same page, you all lose 5 million dollars. Alright. Round two.

50 flags on the field. - Oh! No!

- There it goes! Oh, he went for it. Oh my God!

So many people are getting flags. This is insane. There's only a few flags left.

Who is gonna to get the last one? - Oh my god! - Yeah!

- Have you seen number 20 right there? - Yes, sir. Let's go.

All 50 flags have been captured and five people have been eliminated. Remember, the longer you wait, the worse your odds could get. Let's do this.

And they're off. Oh, boy. Oh!

Oh ho oh. It seems that most people who cross the red line end up getting a flag. And not many people are actually getting eliminated.

I think that's eight eliminates on that one. I see you all in the back. So you're thinking if you wait until the end, your odds will be way better.

But it's not playing out that way. And with the people on the front lines calling dibs on their flag. Three-oh-seven.

I have three-oh-seven. Two-seventy-four. Two-eighty-four.

- He’s got it. - I don’t know, I’m going for whatever. The number of flags left is dropping fast.

This means the chances of getting a flag are getting worse and worse. This is insane. - Oh my gosh.

- Oh, no! Who's gonna get the last flag? Oh, no!

Oh my God! One of the reasons people were waiting it out was because they were working together. Their group wants me to put it right here.

Okay. Taking turns letting each other take the flag. - Yeah!

- Oh! It doesn't make sense. Like, why are people being so nice?

It's 5 million dollars. Eventually, you’re gonna have to betray each other. Someone has to go home.

Someone has to go home. And as the rounds go on and the number of flags left drop, the intensity rises. Oh, oh!

They’re both going. But you tripped on yourself. Yeah, I know.

- Are you okay? - Yeah. I mean, this is gotta be the most insane challenge we've ever done.

Oh my God, that's crazy. Yeah! Oh my gosh.

Ahh! Let's go! Here's what the line looked like at the start of the challenge.

And look at it now. There's 179 of you left and only 100 flags. Let's dwindle the numbers a little more.

Bring out 50 flags. This is where the strategy comes out. We only have two rounds left.

So you can either go right now or take your chances in our final round. The question is, if you wait another round, will your odds get better or will they get worse? Let's have some fun.

And they’re off. They're going! Get a flag.

There are only a few flags left. There it is. She got it!

Yeah! There are 115 people still on the line. This will be the final round.

Bring out the 50 remaining flags. There's 115 people left. Only 50 people are going to make it to this side of the ring.

With their spot at Beast Games on the line, everyone was primed and ready for our final round. Lock in, lock in. Everyone's locked in.

They're gonna go for it. And in this crucial point in the competition, I made the worst mistake I possibly could have. I handed the mic to my friend Karl.

Yo! Let’s hype ‘em up! What’d I do?

Everyone thought you said go, Karl. I said yo. Bro, that was like 50 people just got out.

I said yo! Throughout this whole challenge, it's been very clear that blowing the horn starts each round. Not Karl yelling yo!

- Wow. - Thanks Jimmy. I wasn't the one with the microphone.

Holy crap. - Wow. That's brutal.

- Dude, all Karl said was yo. Your 'yo' eliminated 31 people. It's always the air horn.

Why would they leave on yo? You know what cheers up sad people that just lost a challenge? 2000 dollars.

I teamed up with MoneyLion, the easiest place to borrow, earn, and win money to give the 1000 losing contestants $2,000 each. But MoneyLion is also giving you at home a chance to win a lot of money. They're giving away another $1,000 to 1000 lucky winners, totaling in one million dollars.

To enter, just scan this QR code or visit moneylion. com/beast games. And finally flag.

. . 1100.

After this round, the challenge is over. The final round of this challenge. .

. $5 million on the line. Three!

Two! One! Oh my gosh!

Run! Oh my god! The last flag has been captured.

Congratulations to the 1100 of you who are moving on to our final challenge, The most cutthroat challenge yet. It's our final night at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. And we're ready for the final trial before Beast Games.

Outside of, like, doing crazy things, this is a piece of history that I'll always be able to look back on. That I’ll always be able to reflect on and say, dude, I am on a Mreast video. Alright, the 1000 of you that pass this final challenge will move on to compete in our ten episode Prime Video series.

Every single episode in that show is bigger than the biggest YouTube video I have ever done. The scale of this show is unbelievable. We built an entire city.

We're giving away a private island and we’ve got the biggest prizes in entertainment history. But standing between you and my Beast Games TV show is one final challenge. I need all of you to split up into groups of 100.

This challenge has nothing to do with strength or speed. It is all about trust. Who you pick could cost you your spot in Beast Games, and your shot at $5 million.

By the end of this challenge, one of you will betray your entire team. I’m looking for trust but it's hard to trust when you don't know people. Don’t let people join this line!

And don't leave it. We want more teammates. I don't even know who he is.

I've never talked to this guy. They’re not trusting the rest of the group and they're coming our group and then they’re not trusting our group. I don't trust those people.

It’s kind of depressing that my last survival in this competition is based on these people. Who was the last person to join? One of the guys is basically saying, Hey, 10K, I'm an easy buyout.

We can't trust him. Can’t trust everybody, but I trust myself. That's all that matters.

I am very confident in this group we have here. I don't think anybody's gonna fold. We're gonna make it to that show no matter what.

Going to be with people that are going to Amazon. There's nothing that can make me turn my back on my team. It’s time for challenge number four.

They’re not going to be cheering much longer. Starting now, if you step off your platform. .

. you will be eliminated and so will your entire platform. Everyone knows the rules.

Good luck. I will not leave this platform for anything. All we have to do is outlast those groups.

You better not leave. I’ll get so mad if you leave. - What’re you gonna do about it?

- It's been about a minute and you haven't been eliminated. That's good. Yeah!

Who's the weak link here? Nobody! How’s this corner doin?

We don’t want money, Jimmy! We don’t want money! I didn’t offer money.

- Vibes no bribes! - All right! I believe that we will win!

I love how they all have their own chants. Team no deal! I haven't even offered anything.

But I probably will. We will not be bought. Does anybody want to get out?

Okay, I guess I'll go get a bunch of money. I'll be right back. Honestly, I don't normally get nervous before filming, but this one is freaking me out.

One person is about to receive a lot of money, and 99 other people are gonna be very sad. This is gonna be heart wrenching. I brought three separate bribes out here.

I'm not offering this right now. To be clear, none of them are in play. I just want to show you what they are.

My first bribe, which is not in effect reveal what the first bribe will be. It will be $5,000. And, no– That ain't no Tesla, bro.

If that doesn't work. . .

I'll give you 50 grand! And if somehow, all 1100 of you decline the 5 grand and the 50 grand. .

. Reveal the third offer! Oh my God.

$1 million dollars. It's literally one fifth of the prize money. When that timer starts, the $5,000 bribe will be in play.

If anyone wants to exchange 99 players for five grand, it's right here. Start the timer! I think we got this.

I'm just hoping that someone else on a different team is willing to leave. - Five thousand dollars! - No!

Five grand? I'm trying to give someone five grand. - No!

- No! Nobody wants $5,000. $5,000 is nothing.

5,000 bucks up for grabs. - 5,000? Wait, right now?

- We don’t want it. We don’t want it! Every single team has declined the five grand.

Seems like no one has any interest. You can go ahead and reset the timer. Put it back to ten minutes.

They don't want it. This offer is off the table. For this group of 1100 people, The price of betrayal was clearly higher than $5,000, but as we got ready for the next bribe of 50,000, the entire stadium started to change.

People on every single platform were inching closer to the edge, getting ready. . .

to jump. Because everyone here is competing with one thing on their mind. This amount of money is life changing.

To my seven month old baby, Layla, I love you and I'm doing this for you. If you win $5 million, what are you spending it on? Finishing my college degree.

I’d start an animal rescue. I’d buy my dad a house because he's a disabled veteran. I'm gonna buy a house because my house burned down.

I quit my job to be here. Did anyone else quit their job? Wait, why would you do that?

They may have said no to $5,000 but $50,000 is a different story. Now, things are gonna get very interesting. When that timer starts, whoever touches the ground first.

will now receive $50,000. But I did not expect for this offer to be so irresistible that someone would actually jump before the timer even started. What!

? What? No.

It hasn’t started yet. Oh my God. The timer didn't start!

She still stepped off. She's not– she's not gonna get it because that timer hadn’t started. But she stepped off.

Oh no. . .

I didn't start the timer yet. - Oh my gosh. - I don’t get the money?

No. Because the timer hadn't started yet. Oh my God.

99 people just lost out on $5 million. All because she jumped. I'm sorry, but she stepped off.

At least wait for the million! Her team was in disbelief that they had just been betrayed. And they were absolutely devastated that they wouldn't be moving on to Beast Games.

Alright, platform six. You got– - She doesn’t get the money and we lost? - No.

You guys are eliminated. I'm sorry. She stepped off.

You guys have to head to the exit, I'm sorry. That final game was brutal, but it's nothing compared to what these 1000 remaining contestants are about to face. They've earned their spot in the biggest competition series of all time!

One of them will walk away with $5 million, but before they do, they will have to compete in Beast Games! And that concludes this YouTube video, but check this out. Turn on the lights.

This is going to be the most insane show you have ever seen in your life. We built an entire city from the ground up. We're giving away a private island.

We have a five million dollar grand prize and we have 1000 players. I finally have the opportunity to develop characters, tell longer stories, <b>and go beyond YouTube with a streaming series</b> unlike anything you've ever seen before. If you've ever enjoyed my content, if I can ask you for anything, ever, it would be to watch Beast Games episode one for free on Prime Video right now.

You'll get to see which one of those thousand people wins this $5 million in cash. I’m gonna start the show. Head over to Prime Video and watch Beast Games.

I am standing on 5 million dollars of real money. The largest grand prize in entertainment history.
