MrBeast's First Competition Series Crowns Million-Dollar Winner After Unforgettable Finale
Jeffrey Allen emerged victorious from the thrilling first season of Beast Games, pocketing the record-setting $10 million prize.
MrBeast, known for his philanthropic YouTube stunts and high-stakes challenges, made waves once again with his latest venture. The highly anticipated reality competition series, Beast Games, concluded its debut season on February 13, 2025, on Prime Video. Allen, competing as Player 831, successfully navigated through intense physical and strategic challenges, besting 1,000 other players to claim the largest cash prize ever offered on television.
Throughout the competition, which rivals popular shows like Squid Game (but without the violence), players were eliminated through various hurdles. Initially conceived with a $5 million prize, the total was doubled to $10 million by the penultimate episode. "How did the prize increase so drastically?" you might be wondering. MrBeast's ambition to create something unprecedented set this finale apart.
Allen’s win captivated audiences not just for the amount he took home but for his heartfelt motivation. He participated to honor his son, Lucas, who suffers from Creatine Transporter Deficiency, a rare genetic disorder. With his winnings, Allen plans to contribute to finding potential cures for this condition, making his victory about more than just personal gain. "I want to use this money to help find a cure for the disorder," he stated during the show, reflecting the depth behind his participation.
Fans erupted on social media, expressing their disbelief and joy over Allen's victory. One viewer shared, "This is a dumb tweet, but I can’t believe the right person won Beast Games." Another commented, "TEARS as I watch BEAST GAMES FINALE EP 10!! THE WINNER WAS WELL DESERVED, AND IM GLAD THE CONTESTANTS DIDN’T LEAVE WITH NOTHING. GREAT SHOW." These reactions highlight the strong emotional connection viewers felt to the contestants, especially as many participants also walked away with significant cash prizes throughout the series.
MrBeast's commitment to giving away lucrative prizes extends beyond just one contestant. Over the course of Season 1, more than $20 million was distributed among 85 of the competitors, reshaping expectations around reality shows, which often revolve around one single winner.
Regarding the show's future, fans eagerly await updates about possible renewed seasons. While no official confirmation from Prime Video has been announced yet, MrBeast himself expressed confidence about the show's continuance, stating, “There’s no way we’re not doing another season.” Despite being told to keep the future seasons under wraps, he remains incredibly optimistic about the show's prospects.
“I love what we did with Beast Games. I’m doing it again. I loved working with Prime Video so I’m sure we’re going to do it with them, 100 percent!” he added.
Beast Games has garnered mixed reactions throughout its initial run, with critics praising its scale and production values, even as some viewers expressed concerns about it emulating darker aspects of competition reality shows. Nevertheless, the excitement generated by the final announcement confirms the immense public interest surrounding it.
The series, which premiered globally and is available to stream on Prime Video, has already drawn millions of viewers. Those who missed the action will be able to catch up on the entire season, to witness the challenges and drama for themselves.
