Beast Games Season 2 Already Broke a Guinness World Record (And It’s Actually Impressive)

by

MrBeast’s reality competition show, Beast Games, is already a hit before its second season even begins! The show, created by YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson (MrBeast) and available on Prime Video, pits contestants against each other in challenges that test their physical strength, social skills, and mental toughness for a chance to win a huge cash prize. Beast Games is famous for being over-the-top – it has the most contestants and the biggest cash prize of any reality TV show ever, and Season 2 is continuing that tradition.

Before the second season of Beast Games premieres in January, MrBeast shared that they’ve significantly expanded the show. He mentioned they constructed a huge, elaborate city specifically for the new season.

Let me tell you, Prime Video’s Beast Games is back January 7th, and they didn’t mess around! They actually built a whole city for this season. We’re talking 100 of the world’s most physically powerful people and 100 of the brightest minds going head-to-head in some truly mind-blowing challenges. The prize? Over $10 million! It’s an absolutely insane competition, and I can’t wait to see it all unfold.

I was so excited to see the first look at the new season! They revealed pictures of this massive arena they’re calling Beast City, and it’s broken up into different zones for all the challenges. The big theme this season is “Strong vs. Smart,” and honestly, it’s already got fans arguing about who they think will be cast. Amazon’s official announcement said that every challenge is designed to really test how far people can push their strength, intelligence, and strategic thinking – it sounds intense!

Just to emphasize how massive the Beast City was, Guinness World Records officially confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that it was “the largest single set build on a competitive reality TV show.”

Since its debut in 2024, Beast Games has broken numerous Guinness World Records. In fact, filming of the first season alone resulted in 44 official records being broken, covering everything from the biggest cash prize awarded in a single episode of a reality competition to the world’s largest pong cup, measuring 10 feet tall. The show also became Prime Video’s most-watched unscripted series of all time.

It’s still unclear how Beast Games will surpass its first season, but the introduction of Beast City – and its already-confirmed Guinness World Records – is a good sign. We can expect to learn about even more records broken in the new season soon.

The second season of Beast Games is coming to Prime Video on January 7, 2026. The show was created by MrBeast and a team including Sean Klitzner, Tyler Conklin, and Mack Hopkins.

What Else Do We Know About Beast Games Season 2?

The first look at Beast City, the setting for Season 2 of Beast Games, suggests the new season will be even bigger and more ambitious, showing that MrBeast is continuing to go all-out with his reality competition show.

The upcoming season will have 200 contestants – a decrease from last season’s 1,000. They’ll be split into groups based on a “Smart vs. Strong” concept, and will be competing for a grand prize of $5 million.

Now that we know this season will focus on strength versus intelligence, expect challenges that test both physical and mental abilities. Teams will compete to prove whether power or smarts is more important. Plus, the new ‘Beast City’ setting means the show is bringing back the urban-style challenges fans loved in Season 1.

Season 1’s challenges were incredibly diverse, including everything from trivia and classic kids’ games to physical obstacles and tests of social skills. As we start Season 2, it’s anyone’s guess what MrBeast has planned for the 200 new players.
