YouTube sensation, Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, is the talk out of the town after acquiring 90 million subscribers on YouTube. With over 91.4 million subscribers on the red platform currently, MrBeast is extremely close to hitting the 9-digit milestone on the red platform. However, one of the most successful videos on YouTube by MrBeast is undoubtedly the real-life Squid Game recreation.

The Netflix series was rendered suitable for YouTube by MrBeast and his team. MrBeast gathered 456 people (just like the actual series) with whooping prize money of 456,000$ for the “last person standing.” Above all, millions of people appreciated the video worldwide. At the time of writing, the Squid Game video already has over 224 million views, which is insane.

The tasks were real, the setup was enormous, and every single detail (other than actual murder) was taken care of brilliantly. From the big creepy doll and the marble set up to fake blood, Jimmy surely took the Squid Game recreation very seriously.

However, interestingly, that begs the question: how did Jimmy recruit 456 people for this video? And how was everything managed behind the spotlight?
