MrBeast's IRL Squid Game Sees Contestants Just Running The Red Light - Kotaku

Move any time after “red light” had been yelled out and they were eliminated.

So if you’re running at your max speed on “green light,” then told to halt immediately at “red light,” it’s possible your momentum will still propel you forward, causing you to get eliminated and lose out on the $456,000 cash prize.

This was an obvious trick, as MrBeast shouted “red light” while players were already stationary to see who was gullible enough to fall for the scheme.

It doesn’t help that there’s so much adrenaline coursing through the veins while playing that actually hearing and internalizing “red light” or “green light” is a task in and of itself

So I get it: you hear “red light” and move instinctively anyway, the body probably registering it as “green light” before the brain has the chance to process information
