Beast Games has officially concluded, with the winner taking home a whopping $10 million (though, due to California taxes, they'll actually receive just over $5 million). Now that the show is over, some intriguing behind-the-scenes details are starting to emerge.

For instance, contestant player #600, Adam Dunlap, claimed that several players were disqualified… for stealing money from the $5 million cash pile! According to him, a few contestants were replaced by people who had been eliminated in the Las Vegas qualification round. (Most of these replacements were quickly knocked out in the early rounds after accepting a "bribe" from MrBeast.) Given how generous Jimmy was throughout the show, this kind of behavior seems pretty bizarre.

But let’s focus on something more positive and less criminal. The Guinness World Records documented 44 different records set by Beast Games. These included:

  • Largest physical cash prize on set for a competitive reality show
  • Most trap doors used on a single TV show set
  • Largest game of mystery briefcase opening

As for the future, MrBeast has expressed confidence in organizing a second season of Beast Games, though no specifics have been revealed yet.
