How to play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Begin the game by pressing PLAY.

The Fastest Finger First Round

At the start of the game, you must put the four answers to the given question in the correct order in the quickest time possible. If you answer correctly, the time taken to answer will determine how many of the three available lifelines you win.

The Lifelines

The three main lifelines are Ask The Audience, Phone-A-Friend, and 50:50 – where the computer will remove two of the wrong answers. An additional fourth lifeline, Switch, can be won when the Switch icon is reached on the Money Tree. This allows a question to be replaced with a new question. All lifelines can be used once only at any time during the proceeding questions. Please ensure that you have sound enabled before using the Phone-A-Friend lifeline.

The Money Tree

The questions in each game become progressively more challenging as you progress up the Money Tree. Available prizes increase from the value of your stake up to 20x your stake for the 1 MILLION points question. You must achieve the pre-determined number of points shown on the Money Tree in order to win the prize shown. You may need to answer more than one question to move up a level on the money tree. The game ends when you have reached the maximum score of 1 MILLION points.

The Bonus Round

If you fail to win any lifelines in the Fastest Finger First Round and you reach BONUS on the Money Tree, you will be given a second chance to win the three main lifelines by answering a bonus fastest finger first question.

Guaranteed Win

If you win a prize on the 1,000 or 32,000 points question, you have a guaranteed win. Should you subsequently fail to answer a question correctly, your prize will be reduced to the level of any previous guaranteed win.

The Clock

Both the fastest finger round and the main game are played against the clock. After the fastest finger round, if you fail to answer a question within the time limit, the game is over.

Try Again

If you answer the first question incorrectly, you will be given one chance to ‘try again’.

Rolling Jackpot

Occasionally a Millionaire coin will be available. If you win these, they contribute towards winning the rolling jackpot. This is a bonus prize that is awarded if you collect all three coins. If you win the rolling jackpot, you can still continue to play normally for further prizes. The rolling jackpot is never gambled, if won this is yours no matter what happens later in the game. The jackpot amount is shown to the left of the game screen.

Collecting

When you have reached a high enough score for you to win a prize, or for your prize to increase, you will be given the choice to collect or continue. Selecting COLLECT awards you your prize and ends the game. Choosing CONTINUE allows you to answer further questions for the possibility of increasing your prize. If, however, you subsequently fail to answer a question correctly, your prize will be reduced to the level of any previous guaranteed win and the game will end.

The game automatically collects when the player has reached 1 MILLION points.

The game is over when you correctly answer the 1 MILLION points question, collect any winnings, or do not answer a question within the time limit.
