Finger on the App is a game designed by MrBeast and internet collective MSCHF where the person who kept their finger on the app the longest won a cash prize. Although originally intended for one person to win $25,000, in the end four people won $20,000.[1]
Sequel[]
Although originally intended to be a one-time game, MrBeast announced in Bedwars, But With 100 Players! that there will be another game for $100,000 on December 29, 2020, but it was later postponed to February 19, 2021.[2], then to March 20, given that there was a server overload.[3]
The sequel was once again announced in Offering People $100000 To Quit Their Job, and it will happen for real on March 20. The final finger on the app will win $100,000, although the winner is subject to eligibility. Moreover, the contest is only available to people in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, except Quebec.
The sequel, available for both iOS and Android, features new challenges, in which players must not only keep their fingers glued to their phones, but also to maneuver their fingers in specific ways at regular intervals. That said, ahead of March 20, users can play a ‘Battle Mode’ within the app, going head-to-head in mini-games in order to score extra lives that can be used during the flagship challenge.
Winners[]
The winners for the first game are unknown. America Lopez from Big Brother 25 placed 14th.
For the second game, Swagbacon123 is the winner, after putting their finger on the app for 2 days and 3 hours, and that makes them the winner of the $100,000. Given that Jimmy felt bad for the person in second place, that person won $20,000, and the people between the 3rd and 9th places won $10,000 each.
Trivia[]
- Finger on the App 2 is no longer affiliated with MSCHF, and instead marks the first venture from Donaldson’s proprietary tech company, Beast Interactive, which counts a reported 50 employees.
- Finger on the App 2 had a glitch where plenty of players were glitched out of the app for "no reason". In certain cases, this happened because of accidentally using another finger, or moving the finger slightly out of the screen.
