Sharing more about the exciting obstacle course, MrBeast announced:

"This next game is going to be the craziest thing you have ever seen. This next game is an obstacle course. What you are witnessing is the first-ever obstacle course mankind has ever played on for $5 million."

After the remaining players advanced further in the competition, MrBeast announced the next game. It was an obstacle course. For that, the remaining 50 players would be participating. After the game, only 25 of them would advance to the next challenge.

"All 50 of you will have to form ten teams of five. Once your team is set, stand together on one of the team-numbered podiums to lock it in. It's up to you to decide. Do you want strong people? Do you want smart people? Or do you just want people you can trust?" announced MrBeast.

For picking teams, different groups had different ideas. Some of them were leaning towards choosing strong players, while others were thinking of choosing smart players for their teams. A few of them thought they could get players whom they trusted the most.

"Some OGs found that their previous experience made them desirable teammates. But others found that the way they played in season one stained their reputation," shared MrBeast.

Soon, Team 1 chose to go against Team 5. They were sent to go through the next challenge, the obstacle course. For that, MrBeast announced that it was going to be the craziest obstacle course ever.

The obstacle course on Beast Games featured a windmill, teeter-totters, and additional obstacles. Because of the rain, they were slippery. MrBeast added that even though the game was an obstacle course, each round would be a different course of obstacles.

The first round was Team Race. Blue Team lost after their first player fell. It meant a win for their opposing team. The next up was Team 7. They chose to go against Team 3. For them, the obstacle course was 1v1.

"This round will consist of 1-V-1 races across the obstacle course. In each race, the first contestant to make it across will gain a point for their team. The first team to collect three points will win," revealed Beast Games' MrBeast.

He added that it was not all physical. Both teams had to choose smart players from their team in a strategic order.
