What is the ‘Finger on the App’ challenge?
Earlier this year, MrBeast created an application that challenged users with keeping their finger on their phone for as long as possible — at least, longer than other competitors, withthe grand prize being $25,000.
After three days, he ended the competition early by giving all four remaining participants $20,000 each.
Now, MrBeast is bringing back the challenge and upping the stakes even more, increasing the prize to a jaw-dropping $100,000.
When did MrBeast run the second Finger on the App challenge?
MrBeast’s second ‘Finger on the App’ challenge started onSaturday, March 20.
A countdown timer was shown weeks in advance onthe Beast Games website.
While the YouTuberended up cutting the competition early last time,this one lasted a couple of days and ran its course until the end.

The challenge doesn’t begin until March 20, but players can download it now and compete in the battle mode against people online. It’s a great way to practice for the main event, and you can also earn ‘extra lives’ for the challenge.
In a similar fashion to MrBeast’s first ‘Finger on the App’ challenge, this program tasks players with continuously moving their finger on a grid to avoid any potential cheating.
That’s not all; there’s even a ‘battle mode’ in this new version, which pits players against each other to avoid any obstacles that pop up in the grid. While this mode only lasts before the actual competition, it does allow participants to rack up lives ahead of time, if they perform well.
