Real-life "Squid Game" with 50 Famous YouTubers Competing for a Million-Dollar Prize

Recently, he invested $2 million to create a real-life "Squid Game" set and invited 50 famous YouTubers to participate in the "Million Dollar Challenge."

In the first challenge, ten Tesla Cybertrucks appeared on the scene, and contestants had the chance to shoot hoops. If successful, their top fan could drive the Cybertruck home and continue through the challenges. Missing the shot meant immediate elimination and the end of the game. Five contestants took the challenge, with two successfully winning a Cybertruck, including popular basketball YouTuber Jesser.

The game was ultimately won by the storytelling animation YTR "Jaiden Animations," who received the million-dollar prize. When asked how she planned to use the money, Jaiden mentioned the struggles of an artist's life and expressed a desire to support art students.

Although billed as a real-life "Squid Game," eliminated contestants actually gathered in another space to enjoy food and drinks while watching the remaining competition unfold, creating another entertaining opportunity for the 50 YouTubers and their fans.
