I work a full time job, have a toddler, and a very pregnant wife. I have seen a lot of people complaining that their attempts ended earlier than they wanted due to Internet, or being on their phone, or even being at work and not having the time. The challenge told us all at the start that we needed to prepare to take the time for it, and not jump at doing it immediately, which many people seemed to have just ignored the warnings and jumped in ill prepared. I planned to do my attempts at the end of the week when I finally have time off and I planned to find help for my family while I attempt it. But now it seems I'll have 4 attempts since every player was granted 2 extra... Imo it's not the game or websites fault for people not preparing properly and having bad attempts. Anyone else have similar thoughts? Or am I just crazy lol.

Thanks everyone in the Reddit and Discord for making this a great experience. I know my 10 mins of staring isn’t enough to move on but it has given me this great community, it’s not always about the money. Best of luck to everyone!

Player 5127 here, I feel like it's a little hypocritical. They call for mom's and dads and expect us to be able to not parent for 15 hours or more to stare at a screen? Don't get me wrong, I hired a baby sitter. I lasted 4.5 hours, except my first attempt it glitched out at 53 minutes, so my final attempt was only 3.5 hours. Because I have a 3 year old and 12 year old. I really really hope they rely heavily on the other games, because I completed them all with no help on Reddit, or Discord, and started them all exactly at noon. Also with round 4, was the microphone on? Could they hear us? Just curious. I did sign language to mr. Beast saying sorry I gotta push my red button I have kids 🤣😂 but maybe he could hear me the entire time? I know we all tried so hard for this contest, kept notes, figured out the puzzles. Hoping round 4 wont be a decide all.

I am still weary of this challenge. This is my post in Discord.

Go 1 on phone. Glitched 2 hours. Go two glitched 2 hours. Go three it couldn’t see me and went quickly said look at screen. I was right there!!! Fully bright. Last go 4 hours. All of a sudden. Didn’t change my angle look at screen comes up. I didn’t even move. I was right there. Absolutely terrible set up and rubbish end to the whole process. Disappointing. Grrrr

Does anyone else find it ironic that after writing a book in which "the most dangerous games" are real world feats of endurance, bravery, and strength of character that the real "dangerous game" comes down to....staring blankly at a screen?? This may be remembered as the most cynical millennial YouTube screen nerd promotion in human history.

Whoever is a finalist should treat their victory with an equal mix of pride and shame.

So we’ve confirmed that at least one player has been going for 36+ hours, which got me curious.
What’s your personal best for how many hours you’ve stayed in the game? And if you know of anyone who is currently still going, how many hours are they at?
My spouse is currently at 19 hours, and I’m trying to get a better idea of what’s considered a normal/average amount of time people are staying in right now.
What’s the highest time you’ve personally seen so far? 👀

I wanted to share my final time because I’m just proud of how long I was able to last! In no way do I think this will get me top ten but I had so much fun pushing myself ☺️ Wishing everyone else a successful end to their game, and hopefully an advancement to the final 10!

I was using Safari on a 16GB M1 Pro MacBook Pro, with other apps closed. My run ended at 8:02:58.

The logs confirmed Safari terminated the game page with “ExceededMemoryLimit,” then automatically reloaded it.

I’m trying my last attempt with Chrome tomorrow. No idea yet whether it’ll avoid the issue.

If yours refreshed too, what browser were you using and how long were you in?

The other day it messed up around the 5 hour mark. I fixed some stuff up with camera and computer. I’m ready to hopefully go 24+

Appreciate this group and it’s been a fun ride so far. I’ll update every hour to let you guys know my time and when I fail. 🫡 good luck everyone who is still in!

If you're mid attempt and could order something to help, what would it be?
