They set a trap near the lighthouse. Elena uses her flare to create a false distress signal. Devon, ever the tactician, approaches cautiously. He radios Maya: "I see the flare. Converge on my position."
Mr. Beast adds one final rule: "The Hunters can form a temporary alliance, but only one can claim the prize. And the Prey? You can negotiate. Offer one of the Hunters a split of the money if they turn on the other. Trust is the most dangerous weapon here."
Maya radios back: "On my way."
Elena collapses to her knees, sobbing. Devon throws his broken rifle into the ocean. He doesn’t shake her hand. He just walks away. Beast Games Season 1 - Episode 10
The episode opens not with the usual bombastic stadium lights, but with a slow, somber drone shot of a desolate, fog-covered island off the coast of Maine. The only structures are three stone podiums and a single, weathered lighthouse. Mr. Beast’s voiceover is uncharacteristically soft.
The final three contestants— (28, a relentless marathon runner and former paramedic from Oregon), Devon (35, a stoic ex-poker pro from Chicago), and Elena (42, a widowed mother of three and a steel factory manager from Ohio)—are brought to the podiums. Each has a chest filled with tokens they earned throughout the season: tokens representing alliances, sacrifices, and betrayals.

"Time’s up. The Prey has survived."
A silent moment. Then, a voice over the island speakers: "Rule 17 confirmed. Maya is out. Elena remains Prey. Devon remains Hunter."
"Here’s the twist," he says. "There’s no final challenge where you all run an obstacle course. One of you will be the Prey . Two of you will be Hunters . The Hunters have 12 hours to find and eliminate the Prey on this 10-square-mile island. If the Prey survives until sunrise, they win the $5 million. If a Hunter eliminates the Prey, that Hunter wins."
