Beast Games: parents' guide

10+our pick

Best for ages 10 and up. Rated TV-PG.

A splashy, money-obsessed game show from YouTuber MrBeast that suits tweens and up. A thousand contestants compete for a $5 million prize through stunts, endurance tests and loyalty traps, with cash offers tempting players to betray teammates. There is no violence, but the emotional pressure is intense, with screaming, sobbing and players ganging up on one another. Swearing is the main issue: frequent 'oh my God,' bleeped f-words and a few uncensored s-words. A second season ran in 2026 in the same format. The show also doubles as an ad for the host's brand. Best for 10 and up, ideally with a chat about money and loyalty.

What's in it

Violence

None

No fighting or injuries. Physical challenges and dramatic eliminations, such as players dropping through trapdoors and chutes, are staged so no one gets hurt.

Language

Moderate

One count of four episodes found dozens of uses of God's name, seven f-words that were bleeped or cut off, a few s-words including some left uncensored, plus 'ass,' 'hell' and 'damn.'

Sex and nudity

Mild

No sexual content beyond a brief scene of contestants in swimsuits and a crude joke about the male players.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

None

No drinking, smoking or drug use.

Scary or intense scenes

Mild

No scares, but stress runs high: contestants scream, sob and turn on each other, two brothers berate a woman until she quits, and a Christian player is mocked.

Sensitive topics

  • Bullying

Worth talking about

Players are offered cash to betray friends, and some take it. What would you refuse to do for money, and what does the show seem to want viewers to admire?
