MrBeast executes a $1M puzzle challenge with humans and agents together

Executive summary

For Super Bowl 2026, Salesforce partnered with Beast Industries to turn a 30-second commercial into a live, first-of-its-kind puzzle hunt.

Built in just six weeks, the platform was designed to support up to 10 million registrations, 1.5 million concurrent users, and a projected 1 trillion token requests in its first 72 hours — all while keeping player data secure.

The team turned Slackbot into an agentic puzzle partner that helped players organize clues and test theories without revealing answers. After a month of searching and theorizing with Slackbot’s help, one player finally Slacked the winning message to MrBeast — capping off a complex, engaging experience that only MrBeast and Salesforce, and humans plus agents, could deliver at Super Bowl scale.
