One Last Ride: The Beast Games Finale Recap 

Over a year ago, Beast Games hatched this massive plan to throw 1,000 people at a series of bizarre (and borderline sadistic) challenges. Millions of little decisions led us here.

“An irreversible chain reaction,” as MrBeast so poetically put it.

And HERE we are. The Beast Games finale recap.

Gage (974): “I’m feeling tails!”

We last left off with Gage’s coin toss: fate and $10 million hung in the air. The coin spun – a gold blur that would define the Beast Games.

Cue the nervous sweating. If it’s heads, Gage is done for. If it’s tails, he doubles the grand prize to a record-breaking $10 Million.

The coin lands and everyone gasps… Tails!

MrBeast stares into the camera and half whispers, “I just lost five million dollars, and I didn’t even put it in the title of the show!”

And so begins the finale, with the contestants lifting Gage in celebration.

$10 million bucks is now up for grabs.

It’s on. 

Six Pillars. Six red balls. Six tubes. Zero Aim.

The rules are diabolically simple: if you shoot your ball into another player’s tube, they are eliminated and dropped through a trapdoor (rumor has it the trapdoor leads directly into an active volcano).

Everyone initially sets their sights on Yesenia (937). But nobody can hit the side of a barn: it’s basically the Olympics but for people with bad aim. 

That is until Jeff (831) sniped Courtney 424, who, as always, kept it classy and said, “Good shot.”- and into the void she dropped. Turns out nice guys finish 6th. We’ll miss you, Court!

Alliances were starting to form and shift on a dime. Yesenia’s (947) tube quickly became everyone’s favorite target. Emma (937) promised not to throw at Yesenia… and then she did. Proving that betrayal is alive and well in the Beast Games.

And Yesenia took that personally… Channeling her inner Kobe Bryant and getting the bucket on Emma’s tube.

“Drop her,” She said coldly. And down into the void went Emma.

Drama. Betrayal. Possibly a volcano. We’re down to four players: 831 (Jeff), 830 (Twana), 974 (Gage), and Yesenia (947).

All the Pretty Lights: The Glowing Maze of Regret

MrBeast introduces a giant disco floor (why not?) that demands contestants remember a very precise series of lighted tiles. A shifting light maze, if you will. Each player holds a button, and when they let go, it locks in a path.

The one who lets go first then has to walk the path from memory. One wrong step, and it’s game over. Get it right, and they get to eliminate a contestant.

Yesenia (947), feeling it from her previous triumph, thinks that she will be the one eliminated if anyone else makes the path. “I’m a daughter of immigrants; I’ve experienced homelessness. I’ve experienced what it’s like to be unliked.”

Jeff (831) offers to help her memorize the pattern, but she’s not in a trusting mood.

In true badass fashion, Yesenia lets go of the button first.

The path locks in. She steps up to the maze. Jeff yells out that she’s about to mess up the first step. Is he trying to throw her off? She ignores Jeff and goes with her gut.

Her gut was wrong…

She promptly steps onto the wrong tile, and that’s all she wrote. Off to the trap door and into the great unknown.

Goodnight, sweet Yesenia.

Three players left: Jeff (831), Twana (830), and Gage (974). No tears, just tension.

A Popularity Contest and a $1 Million Bribe

The challenge begins with MrBeast revealing a secret survey of the last 50 eliminated contestants, who were asked who they’d like to see gone from the Beast Games.

If you suspect you’re that person, you can grab a no-questions-asked million bucks and bounce. If you’re wrong, you forfeit a shot at the big finale.

Gage (974) is convinced he’s the name in the envelope. Twana (830) tries to talk him down, saying, “More people like you than you think!”

We like Gage. 🤷

He presses the button anyway, says his goodbyes, stands on the trapdoor, and drops into the next dimension with his new million-dollar cushion.

The big reveal: Twana (830) got the most votes. Gage was safe all along!

Jeff and Twana remain. That’s right, we’re not using their numbers anymore.

The Endgame: $10 Million or Bust

Twana and Jeff confront a circle of 10 identical briefcases, one hiding a $10 million check.  A simple coin flip (ANOTHER ONE) decides who picks first. Twana calls tails, but it lands heads, giving Jeff the first shot at the whole enchilada.

Jeff is blindfolded, and everyone, including MrBeast, turns away so nobody can tip him off as Twana examines the $10 million case and rearranges them in secret.

Twana shuffles the cases better than any casino dealer ever could.

Once Jeff removes the blindfold, he zeroes in on case #5, thinking that that’s how many people are in her family, so it could make sense.  “Did you put it in five?”

Mind games are at full tilt: fake hints, questions, and facial ticks

Twana leans closer with a sly, “I might have. Let me get a little closer so you can hear me. I might have.”  It all comes down to who has the better poker face.

Nobody, not even MrBeast knows which is the holy grail briefcase.

Jeff is unmoved by her theatrics, and he chooses #6.

The music builds…

Breaths are being held.

Aaaaaand… HE GOT IT!!!

HE GOT IT ON THE FIRST TRY!

Jeff wins the $10 Million! Making him the largest prize winner in entertainment history.

He tells Twana he loves her (which might be just as good as winning all that cash, right?).

Jeff’s wife and son rush in to celebrate. His wife beams, “You’re gonna find Lucas a cure!”

The money will surely go a long way towards helping find a cure for his son’s rare disease.

MrBeast asks Twana whether she regrets turning down million-dollar offers throughout the Beast Games; she shrugs and says, “No, it is what it is.”

MrBeast announces she’ll be going home with an extra $100,000, boosting her total to $190,000. Not too shabby. Oh, but what could have been…

There are now 0 players left.

Contestant 831, Jeff Allen, is firmly sealed in the show’s lore. A ten-millionaire.

With over $20 million given away and 50 world records shattered, Beast Games has become the stuff of legend.

What a ride.

What’s next?
