Think you have what it takes to solve MrBeast’s riddle?

On Thursday, July 30, 2020, MrBeast uploaded a video to his secondary YouTube channel entitled “Solve This Riddle for $100,000 (Step 1).” The video opens with a shot of what definitely looks like $100,000 USD, so that’s pretty encouraging. What follows is a barrage of clues — or maybe they’re just distractions from the real clues!

MrBeast says the riddle took months to develop. “These steps are gonna take you all across the internet,” he says in the video. “You’re gonna be watching hundreds of hours of YouTube videos, you’re gonna be doing a lot of crazy things.” Then he smashes a vase and says that could be a clue.

In the video description of the first video, there are 10 links that appear to go to YouTube videos. Except, only one of those links actually works. Once you click on it, you’ll be taken immediately to Step 1 and you’re officially on your quest for the money!

Secondly, he says that you won’t have to download anything to participate in solving the riddle — although there’s apparently an exception to this caveat, as he also says you’ll need to download the game Apex Legends in order to complete the riddle. We’re giving him a pass on that one, though, because Apex Legends is also the video’s sponsor.

Here is what the Mr Beast Riddle is all about

The Mr Beast Riddle has 26 steps. Mr Beast starts by explaining how brain-scratching this riddle can be. He proceeds to push a vase kept on a petit white table while picking a hammer in his hands. Mr Beast then claims that he smashing the vase could be a possible clue, for a mere distraction. Hence, it is clear that figuring out what the riddle is, appears harder than actually solving it.
