Connor Schell's Full Day Productions and Lost Tribe Creative have just launched a new documentary, On The Line: The World Burger Games, on Prime Video.

The five-episode documentary follows the global competition of five crew members from local qualifying rounds to the final championship. The competition started in 2013 as an idea from the Morrell family to honor the crew of the franchise. The competition, known locally as the Five Boy Games, has since gone global.

"The games started as a way to thank the people who make Five Guys what they are," said Jerry Morrell, founder of Five Guys. Now, I'm watching teams from all over the world compete on a whole new stage. Popular in Variety

The documentary takes an intimate, character-driven look at competition at a company that employs nearly 50,000 people. Eight finalists will compete in a series of challenges inspired by the skills required to complete each order. The 2026 competition consists of three events: the potato competition, the cheese competition and the dressing/QC competition. The first-place prize was $100,000, while the runner-up received $50,000. Each finalist walked away with at least $10,000.
