Beast Games

Behind the Trap Door

EIW supplied the specialized scaffold equipment used in the trap‑door chambers featured in Beast Games, the high‑stakes competition series hosted by MrBeast and streaming on Prime Video. Our engineered systems supported one of the most ambitious reality‑television builds ever constructed.

Our Contribution

• Precision-engineered scaffold systems provided by EIW formed the structural foundation beneath the dramatic drop zones. • While installation was handled by the production team, our equipment met the unique safety and performance demands of this ambitious project. • Over 2,000 practice drops were performed by stunt professionals with Marvel-level experience, resulting in 500+ safe contestant descents.

Scaffold Chamber Design

• Structure: Reinforced scaffold systems designed to support repeated drops under high-stakes filming conditions. • Padding: Each chamber contained 4 feet of foam blocks plus a crash pad to absorb impact. • Trap Door Mechanism: Disguised with thick foam and painted to match the set, enhancing suspense while ensuring safety. • Layout: Chambers arranged in a corridor beneath the set allowed for quick resets and safe contestant exits.

Behind-the-Scenes Gallery

• Overhead views reveal open trap doors with visible foam padding. • Wide-angle shots showcase rows of scaffold-supported chambers stretching beneath the tower. • Close-ups highlight branded equipment and the precision engineering behind each drop.
