Playing Millionaire is simplicity itself. Players are given the opportunity to win a million by correctly answering 15 multiple choice questions that increase in difficulty as the amounts rise. Players are given the question and must choose from four possible answers. To help players further, they are given 3 lifelines:
- Lifeline #1 called the 50:50 allows for two of the incorrect answers to be eliminated leaving one wrong answer and of course the right one.
- Lifeline #2 is called "Ask The Audience". Here the game developers reveal the results of a poll of 100 people. There is no guarantee that the most popular answer is correct, but it can be of great help to confirm your suspicions.
- Lifeline #3 called "Phone-A-Friend". This time you call someone that may know the correct answer to the question. Again this is all simulated by the computer and occasionally the person asked will give the wrong or no answer at all.
That's about it.as you progress up to higher monetary amounts the questions increase in difficulty. It is really amusing to watch as people begin to doubt themselves and panic as they reach the 32,000 plus level. It is not uncommon to see someone go totally brain dead and use all of their lifelines on a single question. And still not feel comfortable enough to give a final answer!
