I Put 256 NOBODIES in a SURVIVAL GAME in KENSHI

In this Kenshi video I made a custom start in order to do a squid game like game show, where I put 256 Nobodies in a survival game in kenshi
Nobodies in Kenshi are basic people who have almost 0 stats in every skill. I put these nobodies through a series of survival games and challenges to see who would win the grand prize, 1 million dollars... Or cats.

Kenshi is a free-roaming squad based RPG focusing on open-ended sandbox gameplay features rather than a linear story. Be a trader, a thief, a rebel, a warlord, an adventurer, a farmer, a slave, or just food for the cannibals.
Research new equipment and craft new gear. Purchase and upgrade your own buildings to use as safe fortified havens when things go bad, or use them to start up a business. Aid or oppose the various factions in the world while striving for the strength and wealth necessary to simply survive in the harsh desert. Train your men up from puny victims to master warriors. Carry your wounded squad mates to safety and get them all home alive.
Freeform gameplay in a seamless game world in the largest single-player RPG world since Daggerfall, stretching over 870 square kilometers. The game will never seek to limit you or restrict your personal play style.
Custom design as many characters as you want and build up a whole squad to fight for you. Characters will grow and become stronger with experience, not just in their stats but their appearance too.
Build a base where you can research new technologies, upgrade your defences and craft new gear.
Original take on the RTS-RPG hybrid genre. No "hero" characters with artificially stronger stats than everybody else- Every character and NPC you meet is potentially an equal, and has a name, a life.
You are not the chosen one. You're not great and powerful. You don't have more 'hitpoints' than everyone else. You are not the center of the universe, and you are not special. Unless you work for it.
Purchase and upgrade your own buildings to use as safe fortified havens when things go bad, or use them to start up a business.

Where should I take the next poor 256 homeless people to next? Feel free to suggest challenges to put in a potential part 2

[@shinsenshogun900]

Make today’s champion be granted the name Gamemaster, and equip him with decent equipment and supplies for rewarding the upcoming players (who are designated as the #.2s)

[@dumptruck5138]

Have one of the later challenges be running hashish from the swamp to Sho Battai, everyone who can make it and sell one unit of hashish without getting arrested or killed on the way makes it to the next challenge.

[@derrickalfonso9144]

a gladiator tournament would be pretty neat imo with randomly generated armor and weapons

[@kevingreat875]

you could send them into a beakthing nest and who ever doesnt get a egg dies

[@olter1661]

I say, there's no real "squid game" in Kenshi, unless you make them run through Venge at daytime, dodging all those freaking lasers. And then probably go to Southern Hive and poke their king.

[@17spyguy]

having them start in the cannibals lands and run all the way to the ashlands would be fun to see

[@muatra3651]

I second this

[@jona665a]

I would love to see the swarm go through the sunspot desert, one good ray/beam thing and so many could get rekt

[@derkylos]

@@jona665a Or the Deadlands. So much potential for pathfinding to dump people in acid lakes...(although, the Deadlands rips the legs off anyone not wearing shoes, so...)

[@Sayinclay]

Imagine being a guard at Rebirth and then a massive fuckin human wave appears...

[@KettleHatt]

I'm calling it no way 179 can lose with a beard like that Edit: Gone but not forgotten

[@Its_Luuk]

Wow spoilers! :O

[@krieg7598]

My money is on number 1. I don't think he can loose with such a good number. Edit: I too, had big expectations

[@RQS321]

There should have been a massive battle with all those people. It would have been such a good game to see who the final survivor would be against a purifier or a faction leader or something.

[@contemptuoushomer6136]

I like to think you're giving Lo-fi studio some ideas for Kenshi 2 haha.

[@morpx]

More and more videos in a short period of time, simo never fails to entertain us

[@BryanAudor]

I placed my bet on #39 as he looked like a strapping young lad. He was in top 15 most of the race and was 1 or 2 people short of getting food and medicine, I believe he would have won if he had gotten the food! At the very least he survived everything and I can't wait to see more. After you run this challenge a few times you should have the top 10-30 contestants that almost win their run come back for anniversary redo!

[@keyburri3095]

183 is the dream let's go Edit: Hell yeah! Not the winner, but she survived all the way to the end!

[@peterbringstan4696]

You know it’s a good day when Simo uploads!

[@shinsenshogun900]

I’m rooting for my lad 28! See y’all in tonight’s jackpot! Edit: Man becomes missing in action. RIP

[@willbordy]

I would like to see part 2 with the 70 people is enough to keep the challenges, and if only 2 remain at some point you banish one and let them fight , the winner take the prize

[@CoolSs]

here is few suggestions : -add a count that show who still in game and who not . crossing the name who got disqualified and coloring the name black for who died . -before the game start . just show everyone portraits . so we know how our guys look like . -after every round just show the portraits of our players for few seconds . so we can tell who made it. -would love fight to the death round . -maybe even do a team rounds . where you split the groups ? (My biggest crazier idea is to get in discord call with your friends . and let them tell you what their teams do in that round . some sort of RTS ). -would love to make the next game start in Venge >:) . i know this will be extra editing work but we would love it .

[@profanegunman7586]

I vote number Beep. I have to. I don't care about the odds.

[@danijellino1921]

I don't know about the other challenges but the finale has got to be 1 big race all the way from Levithian Coast to Ashlands.

[@ScootsMcDoots]

Team 177 LETS GO yes we need another episode of this, I love kenshi and this was a really fun Idea

[@genbuesan2640]

Jumping on the 177 bandwagon let's gooo!

[@jimboslice689]

had my money on 59. He was front of the pack and was one of the last people to fall victim to the overnight pathing glitch :( . This series was awesome and seriously entertaining!! cannot wait for more

[@shuliu8436]

love this video, if you make another one, consider making them run through the swamp with blood spiders and try to meet bugmaster where the skin spiders are

[@sammclain2195]

Lucky number 7 all the way 4:30 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@MAUTxxx]

the second they passed through holy nation territory was intense!

[@mareczek00713]

We need bigger game, like 500 people game meant to last until only 5 people survive where 5 badasses that survived the hell are meant to do bounty hunting.

[@connorbnelson]

I'd love to see another video like this. I have a late-game idea. I hope I can articulate it well. Since ruins with research artifacts and/or rare tech are often filled with some of the hardest enemies in the game, maybe you can send people individually to retrieve one. Even though it would require input on your end, I think it would still be balanced since their stats would be too low for combat or sneaking to be an option. Only viable strategy would probably be running in and getting out. It may be helpful (not just for this challenge) to have a few really skilled characters in a separate squad to scout and see if there are enough artifacts first, though. Also, maybe a race from the previous challenge can determine who goes first, since some of the later artifacts may more challenging. Another idea could be to do the slave camp escape challenge again, but divide characters into small teams like they did with Tug of War in Squid Game. I really wish there was a more deliberate way to use friendly fire. A base with a turret maze would be perfect for this.

[@jamesasmodeus5758]

Hey, we're back to Kenshi! I loved the Bandits series so much, this is going to be good as well

[@Spraypoint3495]

Looking forward to part 2!

[@migueltlg]

that was a nice vid, i think u need to split the group so people is not totatly behind and maybe give them some beak things or robot human skin chase them and i also wanna see them running for their lifes from death rays. pretty enjoyable vid

[@migueltlg]

or maybe u split the group in 12 or more and make them steal beak things eggs so that is the food they are trying to get if they didnt get it they dont eat, it would be cool . owh another one make them swin in acid

[@TheSocialStreamers]

Simo about to get sued for copyright. It's good content though, so worth it.

[@NotSimo]

Korean prison is probably easier to live in than Morocco

[@chriscarty2308]

@@NotSimo 😂

[@jisanhaque1896]

even beep made a cameo in this episode, nice!!!

[@christopherg2347]

My bet is 128, give or take 127. - the punishment changed the math a lot, as running trains athletics Those that had to carry someone trained athletics ever so slightly more Those that had been carried trained athletics ever so slightly less - a pitty pathfinding messed things up later

[@Mr.StoneAge]

you should give names to the winners and make em compete in the next one as well

[@thespunkman8]

When the beakgames end, start a playthought with all the winners, starting rich as fuck with all the money they won from the game, and take revenge on all the people that f*ck with them in the course of the games.

[@Matt-md5yt]

man this is nuts my friend, glad you did this

[@casr2]

Should have had a fight between those 4 guys that got there first. Give 1st 2nd and 3rd advantages. Cool vid tho bro

[@NotSimo]

Maybe for part 2

[@LiterallyHoping]

If you want to get a lot of contestants killed, a good objective for the next race would be to steal a Beak Thing egg from one of their nests.

[@DGol2015]

It's also a good way to limit how many contestants advance. I've found nests sometimes have about 20 eggs.

[@fazlimh8711]

Literally Steel ball run

[@Koofumhead]

Well done, i think this is a great concept, it easily makes a series with the role playing elements.

[@c0nn3]

Number 19 will win. Edit: I obviously wanted to type 150, the numbers are just so similar and close by on the keyboard. This was a lot of fun, great video!

[@Redternal]

Fun video! Though i dont think the stakes were high enough. For the next one maybe a run through beak thing territories or a swamp run followed by hashish smuggling would be fun. Thanks!

[@otwk]

Of course the winner shall be 99! Edit: The winner of a pair of shackles, it seems... [12:50]

[@dalidius]

I'll pick 187✌️ Edit Bruh he made it to the final round! That's why i don't bet Only a fool or a mercenary will do it!!

[@anonymouspigeon7150]

17 will dominate the competition.

[@nathanallison3172]

yesss this is fun. man you gotta do a Beak Thing Game in the endgame areas: just see who can survive running through Sniper Valley, Sonorous Dark, and the Ashlands.

[@azeitona2718]

when I looked into the eyes of 115, I saw a warrior spirit like no other. I bet my house and my kidney on him.

[@G1V1D1]

42! Yes first! Oh nooo, he dead.

[@bearing7717]

Gonna vote for 25 Edit: At least he survived, I'll call that a win

[@ronissen]

Would also love to see how different races fare in the next one; get some shek, hivers and scortchlanders involved and see what the outcome would be!

[@Kulumuli]

At least my favourite, 26 made it to th Hub. Good work! I'm hoping for more challenges for the remaining contestants.

[@herrredbaron8961]

Please make another one, thos was so entertaining. Me and my co workers even placed bets on who would win.

[@AMEBAR05]

i had my vote for 121 cause of those aerodynamics but still all and all great video and keep up the good work also 150 needs his own like mini series after this and what he's been thru.

[@pump6400]

Beep followed them out of the fog islands lol

[@TheRevan1337]

More Beak Games :P Can be a monthly thing, couple videos per session.

[@Fish12421]

I'm gonna say number 57, guy feeling. He didn't win but neither did he die.

[@andrewdegrootte4304]

I like the idea of number 59 winning. Yes that seems like a good man to win.

[@andrewdegrootte4304]

R.I.P. contestant 150 died somewhere in between the holy nation and the hub.

[@jammygamer8961]

can we get this but with all of the different races? and have it conclude at Cat lons throne?

[@kalll187]

the hunter exam belike

[@firstnamelastname7124]

144 Ehh at least you made it to the end good try 144

[@lucaugustson9847]

Great video! My suggestion for a challenge next time is each person has to steal a Gurgler egg

[@DarekkoZZ]

This is amazing idea Simo, make more of this, please

[@aaronchia5286]

This is less like squid game and more like the steel ball run from jojo

[@MyheartisaFedpost]

In that Kenshi world Simo is known as a terrible and demanding trickster Demon of the Sands.

Very cool video Part 2 for sure

[@shelbyquinton2264]

would love to see one with the spawns turned on

72!... Now I finished the video.. Damn didnt win, but he survived nearly til the hub run so well done 72!

wow never thought Kenshi amazing race gameplay. definitely wanna try it now.

*American accent from beneath and Owl Mask* - “MA MONEY IS ON 111, ITS MA LUCKY NUMBER MWHAHAH!”

[@coolmang04]

I saw beep in the crowd, so my vote is on what ever number beep is

[@Drackas1]

I'm going with 222! Ohhh, that night when everyone went crazy completely changed the game, lol Pretty fun video idea

[@jakubsota2967]

I wanted to believe in 228 as he looked like Colonel Sanders

[@jakekirby367]

Defo need a part 2 pal, that was funny as fuck.

[@alextaylor2445]

87!!!!!! Man didn't even make it in the first challenge.

[@thedarkninjarises634]

1. I’ve got a feeling, never said it was a good feeling but a feeling nonetheless 7:45 Fuck

[@jonnylapolt6754]

I absolutely hated having to pause after every game and scan the crowd for my guy 133, but at least he made it at the end.

[@CarbonKnights]

Gotta go with number 18! C'mon baby, wooo!

[@DIEGO-zy5fw]

My money is on number 2

[@tiezukae]

this was so fun, im glad my boi 53 survived

[@abrahamxavierraja6742]

7 because....Well of course. Or 77 I guess

[@blackoni3257]

I betting on #20 Let us see how will they do!! EDIT: Well at least he made it to the final Hr may not have won but he survived.. Which i will count as a win.

[@عثمان-و9س]

Can't wait for part 2!

[@instigator6533]

I bet on number 256 the last number shall be the last one alive!

[@devingall3163]

Money on number 58, homies got victory in their eyes

[@hedgeearthridge6807]

My no-cheat lock in is whichever number Beep is, because obviously Beep is the strongest warrior. ...he's not gonna last long, is he?

[@hedgeearthridge6807]

Nope, not at all...

[@Galaxy001]

173, just look at the man. EDIT: of course he is one behind the cut off wtf

[@sorcam]

Betting on 56. He's got it surely. EDIT: RIP, he got eliminated very quickly. At least he gets to go home, unlike a lot of these guys who were stabbed/enslaved/eaten.

[@ShahjahanMasood]

mfw This video started as a Squidgame parody and turned into Steel ball run at the end. I need to watch this again 🤣 This was really fun

[@lawsen3719]

1:10 My boy Beep at the top-left is going to win.

[@Rezuvious]

One moment you had 997k after rewarding the winners for reaching the city first and then a jump cut and 135k has vanished

[@GamingWithMass]

120? reason why not. Love the vids keep it up man!

[@FriendlyEwok]

Just goinng through your old Kenshi videos and befire it starts im going to vote for #53

[@OGDabster]

you should start a new kenshi series where you build up a faction and try to create an entire nation and take over rebirth

[@3x0l37u5]

I wonder what 150 will spend all those cats on

[@t.j.aarons889]

unlucky no. 13 got this in the bag... Well he at least survived

[@randomdunn7661]

Saw beep text bubble, is beep a special guest? 0-0

[@NotSimo]

He was there to watch

[@destrall586]

kenshi has been revived it's being played again and even posted in the channel. we want more beak games

[@alexkrueger9415]

>beak thing games >No beak things

[@SleepyLazyPanda]

I wish we could see every challenger at the start of the gameto choose our champion, and some stats about what happened to the losers (For example : 114 killled by Holy Nation, 23 enslaved by Slavers, 54 eaten alive by Beak Thing, etc.). It would be a lot more work for you though.

[@Onychoprion27]

Run through the desert where the rays of fire dance through the dunes

[@Alpha_blossom]

It’s funny that kenshi is so unpopular but the people that play are completely obsessed, so all kenshi content creators get hounded to make kenshi videos but they never get a lot of views lol, love ya simo, #3 will win though
