Could this have been caused by a huge influx in players?
Around 1.5million players tuned in to take the challenge which could have lead to the issues players were experiencing, Mr. Beast took to Twitter to inform players that players who were booted out could have been done so by poor connection or accidentally touching the screen with a second finger.
The Tweet read “99% of games went smoothly, the devs are finding that most of the few people that had issues were due to poor connection or they accidentally touched with a second finger. Still investigating and I’m genuinely sorry if there was a real glitch, we had 1.5 mil players and”
He then went on to say “I obviously want nothing more then for this to go well. If for some reason you bought lives and do feel like you lost because of a glitch, we are accepting all refunds so you should be Gucci. I love you all and was just trying to give people something fun to do”.

He said he will offer refunds to those that were affected that had purchased extra lives. Of course, Mr. Beast just wanted to give back to his fans, due to the large amount of money on offer it seems that the game became intense and very quickly.
Mr. Beast even added bombs into the game or players to avoid in a bid to wipe our bots, however it seems as though after a total of 2 days and 3 hours there has been a winner crowned.
After 2 days and 3 hours @Swagbacon123 was the last person with his finger on the app and won $100,000!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
