Minecraft Manhunt is a web series created by the American YouTuber Dream and released on YouTube. The series was first published on December 26, 2019, and involves asymmetrical multiplayer gameplay within the sandbox video game Minecraft. In each episode, a speedrunning player, known as the "runner," attempts to complete the game by defeating its final boss—the Ender Dragon—without dying. Opposing the runner is a team of players, the "hunters", who are granted infinite respawns and a compass tracking the runner's location, tasked with killing the runner before the Ender Dragon is defeated. Over time, Dream increased the format's difficulty by expanding the opposing team from a single hunter to a maximum of six, alongside introducing numerous spin-off variants with modified gameplay mechanics. Manhunt has faced staging allegations linked to controversy surrounding a separate speedrunning cheating incident. Dream responded to the allegations by releasing unedited gameplay sessions, and later, behind-the-scenes footage detailing the series' production. The series experienced a surge in popularity throughout mid-to-late 2020, accumulating tens of millions of views per episode and earning a Guinness World Record for the most-viewed Minecraft gameplay video on YouTube. Video game journalists praised Manhunt for its high-tension gameplay and Dream's in-game skill, and the series' success established him as a primary figure in the Minecraft community and YouTube gaming.
