Youtuber’s imitation of the popular series included the same children’s games that appeared in the Squid Game series.

In this case, however, no competitor was harmed. The players were equipped with wireless explosives that were filled with fake blood. The explosive exploded after the player was eliminated. In the challenges with the rope and the glass bridge, the losers fell into a foam pit.

Reconstruction of Squid Game is not the first competition Donaldson presented on his YouTube account. The creator is known for offering lucrative prizes to his followers who are willing to compete in absurd challenges. For example, fans could take part in the challenge, when they had to stand in a circle for 12 days. The main prize was $ 500,000.

MrBeast was the second highest paid youtuber in 2020. According to Forbes magazine, he made about $ 24 million. His videos have been watched by about 3 billion people.
