Challenge[]
- Eric must quickly untie the ropes binding his entire body and swiftly retrieve the bag containing the money from the burning room. Eric managed to get $250,000 out of the $500,000.
- This challenge took place on a scaffold suspended by a crane. Hanging before Eric were bags containing $150,000, $250,000, and $300,000 in cash. The bag with the larger prize amount was suspended farther and farther from the scaffold. Eric was asked to choose one of the three bags and jump from the platform to grab it. Eric chose the bag containing the $300,000 prize to win more money, leaped 10 feet and successfully grabbed it.
- Eric is launched from a giant human-sized cannon. If Eric lands inside the yellow ring, he advances to the next challenge with the $300,000 he has already won. If he lands inside the ring of fire, an additional $50,000 is added to the prize pool. However, if Eric fails to land inside either ring, he will end the challenge without winning the prize money. Eric was permitted to use three stunt doubles as dummies. He could launch them one by one, adjusting the cannon's angle, power, and direction to determine their landing positions. After calculating the optimal distance and power output for entering the ring of fire, Eric set the cannon's power to 100% and landed perfectly within the flames. He then advanced to the next challenge with the $350,000 prize.
- The fourth challenge took place on the truck bed. The $400,000 prize money was divided into eight bags, each containing $50,000, and placed inside a room filled with fireworks. Eric was tasked with throwing a grappling hook within five minutes to pull as many prize money bags as possible onto the truck bed. When the five-minute timer hits zero, the meteorite suspended directly above the room will fall into the room containing fireworks and prize money. Eric managed to haul $300,000 out of the $400,000 onto the truck bed within five minutes.
- This challenge took place in the same room as the first challenge. Before the ropes were untied and he was freed, Eric ate the new product Mr. Beast Beef Stick, developed jointly by Jimmy and Jack Links.
- In this challenge, Eric is first chained together with his best friend Pat. In this state, the two must climb a 50-foot tower, collecting seven bags of money along the way, and reach the summit. If either one of them falls from the tower, Eric loses the entire prize money. Eric and Pat successfully gathered all seven bags and made it to the summit.
Final Challenge[]
The final challenge is a flaming obstacle course consisting of the following five stages:
- Cannon
- Three Rings of Fire
- Hammers
- Fire Lake
- Hall of Fire
And Eric must clear all these stages within one minute and five seconds, jumping to grab the money. There is a safe zone between stages, and the timer will only stop while Eric is inside it.
