The Netflix hit “Squid Game” has prompted the famous YouTuber MrBeast to host his own Squid Games for several million US dollars. There will be 456 players participating and there is even a cash prize at stake. When the real Squid Game starts and how you can watch it, you will find out here on MeinMMO.
What is Squid Game? Behind the name lies an extremely successful Netflix series that topped the charts until the release of the also very good Arcane. In the series, 456 heavily indebted people in Korea compete in a series of games. A cash prize in the multi-million range is at stake. But those who lose in the games are brutally killed.
Who is MrBeast? The YouTube channel MrBeast has over 75 million subscribers, making it the 12th most subscribed channel (via Socialblade).
His career once began with Minecraft videos, but nowadays MrBeast is especially known for crazy challenges. For example, there was a challenge where the Twitch streamer shroud kills players in Apex Legends and every kill means a donation.
In addition, he wants to create a successful team in LoL. In terms of his crazy challenges, the YouTuber is planning a real version of the Squid Game.
MrBeast’s real Squid Game – Here’s how it works
How will the Squid Game work? According to MrBeast, he has invested around 2 million US dollars to build his own Squid Game arena. In it, there will actually be 456 participants, including various content creators, competing in a series of typical Squid Game disciplines.
Of course, no one will be killed, but MrBeast seems to have spared no expense and effort on the details. Even the accommodations for the players are said to resemble those in the series.
When and where will it take place? MrBeast’s Squid Game will be broadcast on his YouTube channel. It is set for Wednesday, November 24.
What can you win? MrBeast is said to have invested a total of 3.5 million US dollars in the project for his own Squid Game. Since 2 million have already been used for locations and organization, another 1.5 million dollars are likely left as prize money. Whether this will be awarded to the last “survivor” as in the series or distributed among the players is not yet known.
One can certainly debate whether a reenactment of a brutal competition for the amusement of viewers is ethically justifiable. However, for those wanting to know more on the subject, you can check out our list of online games that are ideal for fans of Squid Game.
