Colin Sanders won $1 million by solving MrBeast's Super Bowl vault puzzle. MrBeast 2 posted footage of him entering the combination at the vault.

MrBeast put the money in a vault during a Super Bowl commercial and said whoever solved a hundred puzzles spread across the internet would win it. About seventy million people tried. Colin and his team put in hundreds of hours before he cracked it.

The hunt ran through playlist clues, gifts to celebrities, billboards, a crossword, and a site called beast.travel with dozens more puzzles. Players had to collect ninety-one locations worldwide, plot them on great circles, and assemble a thirty-digit combination. MrBeast said he did not think anyone would finish.

Colin flew in to meet MrBeast at the vault with the code memorized. He typed the dial turns, then numbers drawn from a Super Bowl Instagram photo of Rosé from Blackpink and stats from the game broadcast. The vault read access granted.

MrBeast told him he was the first person in the entire world to put in the correct code. Colin said it was the hardest thing he had ever done and that his son was going to college. His wife was there for the opening.
