YouTube creator Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson called an early end to a game

Youtube creator Jimmy’mrbeast’ DONALDSON called an early end to a massive competition designed with one winner and a $ 25,000 prize in mind. Four winners, each walking away with $ 20,000 in hand.

The game was designed in partnership with Internet collective mschf. The game kicked off at 3pm et on June 30th, and ran until DONALDSON called an end to the madness on Twitter at 1:15pm et today.

‘three days is insane! You all win and will all receive $ 20,000,’ says DONALDSON. The four remaining contestants are still on the app.

One player argued on a livestream that DONALDSON’s Tweet could be a trick. If three of the final four players removed their fingers, the last person standing could still stand to win $ 25,000.

A follow-up Tweet from DONALDSON confirmed’all four winners have been contacted and will get their money’. A follow up Tweet from the player confirmed that he was able to get two’of the $ 20,000 winners in a phone call’.

At least one person on a live stream who claimed to have been in the final group said they had not received a call from DONALDSON. The Verge has reached out to mschf and DONALDSON for more information.

Two players took their fingers off the app on July 2nd for $ 5,000 each, according to DONALDSON’s tweets.

The YouTube channel skyrocketed under the new format. Donaldson gave his mom $ 100,000, bought a house for his best friend. He opened pop-up shops where visitors could buy expensive electronics for cheap.

The app was prepared to hold’millions of concurrent players,’ with more than 1 million players within the first hour. Having those many players enter a game at once comes with some concerns.

Donaldson was especially interested in’making sure someone could n’t just duct tape their hand to the phone’. This required players to occasionally move their fingers in specific ways, he said.

I think the beauty of the game is that we do n’t really have control,’ said DONALDSON.’it’s really up to the people playing and seeing who lasts the longest, and I think our main thing was just keeping the game fair,’ he said.
