You have the opportunity to get 100k USD but you are locked in a room with 10 other people for up to 24hrs. Here’s the catch, one person in that room has to die in order for you to be released from the room and receive the 100k. If you and the people can’t decide on which person to kill by the 24 hour mark then all of you will be killed and no money will be given out.
The room will be an empty average sized room with lights. You will have nothing on your person besides clothes. You won’t be able to eat or drink anything. Once someone is dead, you are instantly let out and 100k is put directly into your account. The way of death doesn’t matter as long as someone dies. There are many ways for how you can approach situation. You can take a vote, play a game, or just immediately target someone yourself and kill them off the rip. After all is said and done there is no way in which you will ever be charged with murder.
Would you accept the opportunity with the chance that you are the one that is targeted? How would you go about the situation to ensure that you are walking away with the money?
EDIT: Just to clarify, the “10 random people” are randomly selected people who have also agreed to the kill one person and get 100k deal. Also if you kill more than one person you don’t get more money.

100k is not enough money for this one. Nope.
No.
100k to kill someone or have a one in 10 chance of dying. You would have to be very very desperate to take this deal.
Fuck deciding democratically, I’m just going for the smallest one and hoping everyone else gets stuck in.
So basically you’re asking me if I could become a murderer or take a chance that at least one in ten random people is a killer for $100k?
Hell no.
Trying to look at this one objectively, I’d probably survive and get the money – but I wouldn’t want to do it.
I’m a 34-year-old man who is in shape. While 100k is good money for me, it’s absolutely life-changing for some people. So, I think that at least 1 person would decide to just target someone and end it quickly, and they probably wouldn’t target me. I imagine that a man would go for an easier target – likely a woman or girl. Statistically, there’s at least 1 older woman or young girl, who probably wouldn’t be able to fight people off.
I don’t think people would try to save them either – if they do, then the target might switch to them.
So it would probably be an easy 100k for me, but I’d 100% have psychological trauma. That’s not something I’m willing to take 100k for.
No because I dont want to kill people.
I’m volunteering to die🫡
Maybe vote and kill the oldest, sickest person? Even then 100K isn’t much to solve my problems, also I’m short and really out of shape, so unless there’s a really sick or old person I’m pretty sure I’d be the one killed
Nope. And that is a ridiculously low amount of money for an offer like this.
Nope. What a shit deal. 100k, laughable.
People in general are herd animals – very likely nobody does more than talk/argue for the first 20-22 hours because nobody wants to initiate violence as that is not “the norm” so…
Wait for the inevitable. The guy that finally snaps & decides to kill a small female as easy prey. Act like I’ll help, rear naked choke, doesn’t take long to send him on his way.
Morally very dark grey but you essentially saved someone’s life & fulfill the requirements.
Nope, pass
lots of people get killed over less than 900k.
Nope, not a chance.
I’m not desperate for money, I don’t think I’ve ever been that desperate for money, even when I was genuinely struggling to get by.
No way in hell am I doing this to them or to myself for that matter.
Ten -random- people? If you’re from a first world country, your chance of winning this definitely isn’t as good as 1 in 10.
If 9 people die do i get 900k? If so sign me up
I’m genuinely surprised how many people are turning it down even despite not having to be the one to do it. I was thinking I’d go straight in and take my 100k. I might need to do some self reflection 😐
new mr beast game dropped
Plot-twist: Actually, unbeknownst to you, everybody else in the room is already a killer, and you are the only one who is not.
Not for a 100k. Absolutely no way. That doesn’t even greatly effect my life.
Id need at least 5 million to take the 10% risk of death. Probably even 10 mil
What bugs me out isn’t being part of a murder for 100k, it’s the 1/10 chance I’ll die myself when the group can’t agree. That’s too high of a risk
sounds like a worse version of squid game
OP are you trying to hire a hit man?
If everyone in the room has the same deal going on, chances are you won’t even have to do anything.
I’m a white male, but on the shorter side, but early 30s and decent shape. I doubt I’d be the easiest target in the room.
Just hope and pray that you aren’t the weakest in the room and target the weakest immediately. 100k plus you ensure your survival. The longer you wait the higher the chance of you being the target is
But what do we do with the other 23 hours and 58 minutes?
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Yeah we just lynch the person wearing the number 001 who’s clearly organized this game for their own amusement /s
No seriously, I wouldn’t accept this offer. I feel like the people most likely to accept this offer would be violent and desperate, and i expect they would agree to lynch the person who fits in the least.
I would not want to be the only redditor in that room
As an autistic person I’m going to have to say no lol
Tbh even if i wasn’t going to be the one dying 100k is nowhere near enough for me to be complicit in killing another. I dont think any amount of money is for me.
Only if I could select one person to go in that room… then I’m in
Nope. Hard pass.
Does everyone in the room get money too if they survive? Do they know the details of this arrangement or do you have to explain it to them? These factors would make a massive difference
“What’s your opinion on trans people”
“They’re all pedophile”
That guy
Ten strangers sharing a bathroom and the accountability of being trapped together, chances are good that someone will be murdered for being gross.
No thanks. I don’t fancy dying so that 9 random strangers can have a bit of money.
I’m a woman, and a small blonde one at that. I might as well have a target drawn on my clothes.
Do we have full bios of everyone in the room?
Lol no
Most Redditor would say no, 10% death for 100k is way too low
We will see a lot African and South American jump all over on this deal
For 100k. No. Not by half.
I want no part of this.
Hell no!
What if i kill a fly?
My dumb luck, I would end up in a room with 3 old ladies, 3 babies, and 3 super hot chicks. Definitely can’t kill any of them. Guess it’s gonna be me.
I’m a large and fit enough person that I’m not that worried about the group picking me. Even if they know they I can’t fight them all, people worry about their own so safety from injury.
However, the whole experience isn’t worth the price. $1M minimum to even consider but really $5m+ is needed for me to jump on it
No
Eh I’ll do it, at least one of the 10 has to be horrible In some way and If I die so be it
Idk if someone else said this, but also killing someone with your literal bare hands, which seems to be the only option in this scenario, is actually hard as fuck unless you train for it, and also, I would imagine, traumatizing as fuck.
Any bare hands method would involve incredibly close quarters in which you literally feel someone die and if you only get 100k you fucking better bet most of that will be going into therapy/meds so you can sleep at night.
Ah but what if I’M the one who wants to die, checkmate OP
I’m in. That’s not life changing money it it would make me completely debt free. I’m pretty confident I won’t be the one to die. I’m taking it.
The only way to make sure you live through it is to immediately kill someone so I’m not gonna volunteer for that no matter the amount.
This is basically my last trip to the ER, except the money went the other way.
Now, if I could choose who went in with me to get killed, I may be tempted. A bunch of random strangers, it’s nowhere near enough money.
Frankly, this one is fucked.
Depends, are the other ten people given the same option as me? By that I mean is it voluntary?
Because if so, all the olds/feebles/tiny women aren’t going to accept and suddenly being a big guy isn’t as valuable, since it’s going to be me and 9 other big dudes lol.
If it’s my choice and 9 random from the population?
I’d probably be ok.
I get to die and 9 people get money… what’s the catch?
I mean, sure.
I’m 5’11”, 215 lbs, in decent shape. I’m probably not going to be anyone’s first choice to attack, so it gives me time to plan. I’ll just sit quietly in the background, and gauge everyone else as they argue: Who’s the strongest, who’s the weakest, who is rash and irrational, etc. And wait for the right time.
Chances are at least one person will be emotionally unstable and eager to kill, so if he snaps immediately, great, jump in and kill the would-be killer, or wait and when the time comes, turn everyone else against him painting him as a bad guy psychopath who deserved to live the least. Or find the psychologically weak person that buckles easily under pressure, whisper into his ear, prey on his fears and weakness, and get him to snap, then we all jump him to “protect” the others.
absolutely not
Yes, detective, this guy right here
Absolutely not.
I decline, but it seems like there’s a number of easy outs. 1 just kills someone and then everybody else doesn’t have to be complicit. Or, 1 just kills themselves and everybody else is fine.
Anyway, if everybody is informed of these conditions up front, I expect it’s an empty room
I’m not killing someone for $100,000. No.
Not having anything to drink for 24hrs is bad. Why no water?
Oh look, another murder for money hypothetical. How…unusual.
Sure. Either way, my problems are over. Either I am the one killed and don’t have to worry about anything, or I get $100k and my debts are paid.
[ Removed by Reddit ]
You’re saying you’re offering 100k to become a murderer. Who would take this?
No, this offer sucks.
[ Removed by Reddit ]
TIL I am not a good person.
$100k for a 1/10 chance of dying? Why would anyone do that.
Sociopath.
Is consensus required? Or just that someone die?
This is a bad time to be a woman because if a man decides to snap the neck of the nearest person he can do that to, it could be me.
Really buried the lead on that title; should probably have had the word “kill” in it somewhere.
100K won’t buy me any peace of mind. Hell, it’ll be gone in less than a year.
I dreamed I killed someone once. It was vivid enough to convince me I could never live with that in reality. Big nope.
1 in 10 chance to die for 100k. I’d say no.
I think there’s a minimum number of people where a minimum price would make people consider it. Maybe 1000 people for 100 million? I think loads would say yes. 100 people for 1 million? Not sure if people would.
Also depends on the person. People will target the smallest or weakest. So if you’re 79 years old, 4’10 and frail…. It’s not looking good. If you’re The Mountain, you’ll probably do fine lmao.
No.
I mean i can strangle the closest to me.
Hard no. That said, a random selection of people who agreed to this scenario has a much higher chance of including someone who will immediately attempt to take out someone else, and I’d have little qualms about putting them down, if I found myself in this room (which I wouldn’t).
I wouldn’t do this for 100 billion but if you say yes at 100k, you’d say yes at 1k for the hell of it
It’s not a lot of money to actually gamble my life with, but I think hypothetically i’d like to think I have a pretty great chance of not being the one to die out of 10
I would not commit murder.
I’d do it
Belko experiment
I’m not killing someone for $100K. You have to get me into that Ocean’s 11 action for me to start considering ending another human.
I wouldn’t do this for any amount of money
100k is not alot in exchange for possibly losing your life. So it’s a bad deal, all around
That said, if I were forced I to this scenario any way, I’d immediately target the oldest person in the room, while telling every one my reasoning g, that that oldest person in the room has the least life left to live, amd if one must die, it ought to be the person who has the fewest years left any way.
Jokes on me if I’m the oldest person in the room, but I figure that in my early 40s, there’s a good chance that 10 random people includes some one in there 60s, or 80s
“Would you kill someone for [amount of money]?” variation #983,450,267
I’m desperate enough to take this deal. Just gotta attack the first person I see. If I’m winning I can just tell the others to help me finish them and I win.
Voting wouldn’t work cause I feel like everyone would vote for whoever proposed the vote.
Hell no. I have a 1/10 chance of dying (I mean not that it’s a random roll of the dice, but for simplicity sake) and a 9/10 chance of having to live with murder on my conscience for the rest of my life. Neither of those things is remotely worth $100k, esp considering I wouldn’t even get $100k in the first case.
Hey Squid Game, I don’t like it. No thanks.
My brain said no as soon as I read ten random people. No thanks.
This reminds me of Alice in Borderland.
I think only people very eager to murder someone would accept this. Even those quite desperate probably wouldn’t bite unless they were deadly.
Given the population of people who would accept a deal like this I think I’d be taken out pretty quick.
I have to be in a room with other people?!
Hard nope.
1 year average salary (in Australia) for the 1/10 chance of being killed, or the 9/10 chance of being a murderer – nty fam
My friend, I don’t take 1/10 chances with my life for anything less than a million.
Let’s look at some facts:
I’m not a killer, never will be.
I do not know how to defend myself.
I have red hair, so any attempts to avoid drawing attention to myself are fruitless endeavors.
Killing someone will not be a good idea until about the last hour, which means I need to stay up for 23 hours to make sure I don’t get strangled in my sleep, and possibly pray someone else just finishes the job, because I don’t have the heart to do it.
And it’s very likely a lot of people I get paired with will do that same thing.
Sounds like a fucking movie plot
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Not if there are no bathrooms and no water.
You could 100x that amount before I’d do it
Kinda reminds me of a movie where there’s a bunch of people standing in a circle voting each other out. One of the people survived almost the whole way simply because he silently observed while everyone else argued, and reasoned in their defense.
I probably wouldn’t accept this offer but if I did maybe that’s a good strategy.
The average person wouldn’t stand a chance, but uhm, killing a person for 100k probably would ruin me for life. I’m not desperate enough to kill someone’s for a 100k right now. But let these tariffs sink in…
Jail time?
Are the people in the room there voluntarily with their own 100k?
Uh, no.
What’s with all the ‘money to do something evil’ posts anyways?
Stop
No thanks
I would pass. 100k is nice, but having to choose someone to kill isn’t worth it
So my only options would be: die or live with the guilt of knowing that I’d killed someone? No figure would be high enough for me to do that.
For only 100k in this economy???
Without question, my normal rate for killing someone is $10k so of course I’ll take the job for 10x my normal pay.
No dude, I’m not going to kill someone or risk getting killed for $100k lol wth.
No.
Isn’t there a movie about this?
If I had to participate/needed the money urgently. I’m gonna lunge straight for the weakest looking person. I’m not gonna leave it up to a vote- that’s cruel af
ugh please randomly select people I don’t like so that I can enjoy it more, 100K is not fun
Immediately kill the first person I see.
Can we all understand each other magically if there’s language barrier?
Nope, I’m always the first one being voted out in any werewolf, secret hitler or murder mystery game. 🙁
TL;DR Would you kill for 100k?
Some of y’all writing out a wall of shit that doesn’t matter 🤣
No way
Done
I mean, the average reddit user is the most likely person to accept this. I like my odds.
Am I crazy for taking the deal and just hoping someone else will murder someone who isn’t me? It’s a gamble but the odds are in my favor statistically
>One person has to die
Yeah no. I know where I end up in the packing order. I’d end up dead every time.
Can we settle it with a children’s card game? If so, I’m down.
If I had to, I’d be willing to offer up 50k (or more tbh) of my money to split between the rest of the survivors in exchange for them not killing me.
But I’d never accept in the first place.
Il take that offer and hope that someone in there has the killer instinct.

Not enough money
You couldn’t pay any amount of money that would convince me to play Russian Roulette with a side of murder.
Not worth it. Not even close.
