WARNING: BEAST GAMES SPOILERS BELOW!
At this point in Beast Games, it’s clear that every contestant has to have an airtight approach to staying in the game. For Contestant 406 — Karim Arafa — that approach is all about strategy. From securing the first helicopter ticket to the private island to working closely with his brother, Hazim (Contestant 527), Karim has made a mark.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s driving his gameplay, how he’s navigating the competition, and why Episode 3 was a major moment for this standout player.
Who Is Contestant 406?
Karim Arafa brings a diverse range of experiences to Beast Games. An Army veteran, Karim has built a multifaceted career as a portrait photographer, car salesperson, and founder of Sparks Volleyball Club, which he launched in 2017 while earning his Bachelor’s in Business Administration at UNLV. This multifaceted background equips him with unique perspectives and skills: a serious boon in Beast Games.
Episode 3: A Game-Changer for Karim
Karim’s performance in Episode 3 was one of the most pivotal moments of the season so far. He claimed the first helicopter ticket to the private island — a major advantage in the competition — and showed just how far strategic thinking can take you.
Karim’s gameplay is calculated, but not flashy. Whether working alongside his brother or figuring out how to secure key advantages, Karim is all about staying one step ahead. His ability to adapt to different situations and think critically has not just kept him in the game, but vaulted him into the inner circle of contestants to keep an eye on.
Lessons From Contestant 406
Karim Arafa’s alliance with his brother, Hazim, is more than just teamwork; it’s a tactical maneuver. Together, they’ve crafted a partnership that allows them to outwit and outlast other contestants. Karim understands that collaboration isn’t about loyalty — it’s about leverage, and he wields it unapologetically.
What sets Karim apart is his ability to stay composed under pressure. While others falter or react emotionally, Karim remains laser-focused, keeping his cool as he maneuvers through the chaos. This makes him a competitor that may not be the most loved, but certainly can’t be ignored — and one his rivals should never underestimate.
What’s Next for Karim Arafa?
With his calculated gameplay and drive to succeed, Karim has proven he’s a serious competitor. But Beast Games is full of twists, and the competition is only going to get tougher from here. Will Karim’s strategies hold up? Or will the high stakes force him to adapt?
