The MrBeast Riddle is a solved internet riddle that initiates by going to the video called "Solve This Riddle For $100,000 (Step 1)", the first video of the MrBeast 2 channel. The first person to solve the "riddle" would win $100,000.
He said he spent 100 days and $250,000 developing the riddle that would take hopeful challengers “all across the internet.”
Just one day after the initial video was posted, on July 31, someone had already solved the riddle. The exact winner of the riddle wasn't revealed, because they didn't want the fame, so MrBeast agreed not to reveal their identity.
