mau takes Fortnite's 33-meter challenge blindfolded

An eye mask makes landing difficult, but the final score overlay gives viewers a different puzzle.

Channel: mau Story of October 26, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The video is running at 56,603 views a day, 5.5 times its usual pace (10,270).

CLOSEST TO 33 METERS WINS 👑

mau puts on an eye mask, spins around and throws an Oni-Mask without seeing where it will take him. His first landing is barely down the course. Across from him, a friend uses a towel or shirt to block his own view, hardly a setup for precision gaming.

The assignment is simple: get as close as possible to the target distance. The equipment changes with each round, from teleporting masks to Shockwave Grenades and finally the Infinity Blade. By the grenade round, the pair are landing almost side by side, and mau declares them "neck and neck."

Posted four days ago, the Short added about 57,000 views over the past day, more than five times its usual daily pace. It follows another distance challenge, "CLOSEST TO 77M WINS 👑," which featured Overstrand.

This time, the comments keep returning to the arithmetic. mau celebrates at the end, but the final score overlay briefly displays matching distances, prompting several viewers to ask whether the result should be a tie. Others want the map's name. A challenge played without looking has left its audience looking closely at the scoreboard.

An interview with Mau following this video

"to put it simply we didnt count correctly, so i suppose its a tie & we'll have to run it back!"

Trari: How did you put together the blindfolded 33-meter challenge, with equipment changing from Oni-Masks to the Infinity Blade?

Mau: inbetween rounds we had to take off our blind folds and reposition ourselves at the start before putting our blind folds back on

Trari: Several viewers wondered whether the matching distances on the final overlay meant a tie; what would you tell them about the finish?

Mau: to put it simply we didnt count correctly, so i suppose its a tie & we'll have to run it back!

Trari: After the 77-meter and blindfolded 33-meter challenges, what would you like to try next on your channel?

Mau: Something in the middle, like the 55 meter challenge
