Can you really win $1 million at the 2026 Super Bowl or is MrBeast just trolling us?
MrBeast is known for his over-the-top and unconventional video style. His latest teaser for his Super Bowl ad, however, turns anticipation itself into the stunt, deliberately keeping fans in the dark while the promise of a $1 million giveaway hangs in the air.
MrBeast Keeps Fans Guessing With $1 Million Super Bowl Teaser
Earlier this year, MrBeast announced a partnership with business software company Salesforce for a Super Bowl advertisement, sparking widespread curiosity about what the YouTube star would come up with this time. Since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting any hints or details about the project.
In the Instagram post, MrBeast remains in the foreground as a series of increasingly bizarre scenes unfold behind him. While holding up signs teasing the $1 million giveaway, viewers simultaneously see a cow wander through the frame, a brief basketball game, jugglers, and even a short boxing match playing out in the background. Toward the end of the video, MrBeast holds up a sign covered in confusing text such as:
“I’m trapped and shaking. Trying to remember where I am. Hoping someone listens. I can’t see exits. Sounds lie. Maybe this reaches you. Every breath hurts. Anxiety spikes. Nothing feels real. Still I talk. No windows. Only dark. Time warps. Head ringing. I can’t think. Nerves frayed. Goodness help me. I keep whispering. Just in case. Unknown footsteps pass. Silence answers. Terrifying. Walls close in. Air thin. Nails scrape. Trying to focus. Every mark matters. Desperate. Take this seriously. Observe closely. What you’re reading. All of it. Seems urgent. Tense. Enough. You’re still here. Obviously reading. Unaware, right? Time slipped. Ironic. Maybe smile. Ending now. Laughter feels earned. Oddly enough. Linger on that."
At first glance, the text doesn’t seem to make much sense. However, many viewers suspected there might be a hidden message behind the cryptic wording. That led some sharp-eyed individuals to realize it could be an acronym. When read accordingly, the text spells out the sentence:
"This means nothing I just wanted to waste your time lol."
So how exactly it will work, however, is something we’ll find out no later than the Super Bowl itself.
On February 8, the 60th edition of the Super Bowl will take place, with the New England Patriots facing off against the Seattle Seahawks. Throughout it all, MrBeast remains completely true to his signature style, creating videos driven by spectacle and curiosity. Regardless of what the giveaway ultimately looks like, one thing is certain: this promotional stunt has already achieved its goal by capturing attention. And who knows? Maybe you’ll be the one walking away with $1 million at this year’s Super Bowl.
