MILLIONAIRE GAME — NUMBER AND REASONING — PRIVATE HOST KEY
https://playmillionairegame.com/millionaire-game-template#worked-ladder
Original practice material, not official television questions.
All ladder values are virtual points shown with cash-style labels. No real money is awarded.
Stages are editorial suggestions. Reorder or adapt for your audience; they are not measured difficulty levels.

KEEP THIS KEY PRIVATE — share only the separate player questions file.
Suggested manual session: allow 30 seconds to think, then 30 seconds to confer; rotate the spokesperson.
Accept the listed letter or its matching answer text. Lock one final choice before revealing the explanation.
For this paper/document review, a wrong answer earns no advance; discuss the explanation and continue with everyone.
The ladder marks the level reached, not a sum of round values. This manual review rule does not change online gameplay.
Check prerequisites: prime numbers, equivalent fractions, triangle angles, multiplication, percentages and pair counting.
Online: manually enter each prompt, four choices and accepted answer in Questions; add the explanation under Optional details.
Remove unused last question slots to leave nine. Keep the generated standard ladder, then Create Game.
In My Games, use Preview to rehearse and Edit to correct; Host live opens room setup. Choose the available gameplay rules there.
Free: up to 3 saved games and 3 participant devices. Custom reward labels and additional paid capabilities require Pro.
These TXT files do not automatically import, create slides or save an online game.

Question: How many sides does a triangle have?
A: Two
B: Three
C: Four
D: Five
Accepted answer: B — Three
Explanation: A triangle is a polygon with three straight sides and three angles.

ROUND 2 — Recall — Number sense — $1,500 virtual
Question: Which number is even?
A: 17
B: 24
C: 31
D: 45
Accepted answer: B — 24
Explanation: An even whole number is divisible by two with no remainder. Twenty-four divided by two is twelve.
Host note: Ask how a player can check evenness without guessing.

ROUND 3 — Recall — Number theory — $5,000 virtual
Question: Which of these numbers is prime?
A: 21
B: 27
C: 33
D: 29
Accepted answer: D — 29
Explanation: Twenty-nine has no positive divisors other than one and itself. The other choices are all divisible by three.
Host note: Review the meaning of prime before play if it is unfamiliar.

ROUND 4 — Apply — Fractions — $15,000 virtual
Question: Which fraction has the same value as three quarters?
A: 3/8
B: 4/6
C: 6/8
D: 9/16
Accepted answer: C — 6/8
Explanation: Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by two to get 6/8. Multiplying both by the same nonzero number preserves the value.
Host note: After the reveal, ask which operation preserves a fraction's value.

ROUND 5 — Apply — Arithmetic — $40,000 virtual
Question: A host puts six pencils in each of twelve boxes. How many pencils are in the boxes altogether?
A: 18
B: 36
C: 60
D: 72
Accepted answer: D — 72
Explanation: There are twelve groups of six, so 12 × 6 = 72 pencils.
Host note: Allow scratch paper; ask players to write the multiplication sentence.

ROUND 6 — Apply — Geometry — $100,000 virtual
Question: Two interior angles of a triangle are 60° and 50°. What is the third angle in ordinary plane geometry?
A: 70°
B: 80°
C: 90°
D: 110°
Accepted answer: A — 70°
Explanation: The interior angles sum to 180°. Subtracting 60° and 50° leaves 70°.
Host note: Have players state the angle-sum rule before showing their calculation.

ROUND 7 — Reason — Counting — $250,000 virtual
Question: A lunch menu offers three sandwiches and four drinks. If you choose one of each, how many different combinations are possible?
A: 7
B: 12
C: 16
D: 24
Accepted answer: B — 12
Explanation: Each of the three sandwiches can be paired with any of four drinks, giving 3 × 4 = 12 combinations.
Host note: After the reveal, sketch a three-by-four table to make every pairing visible.

ROUND 8 — Reason — Percentages — $500,000 virtual
Question: A board game normally costs $80. What is its price after a 25% discount, before tax?
A: $60

D: $75
Accepted answer: A — $60
Explanation: Twenty-five percent of $80 is $20. Subtracting the discount leaves $60; no tax calculation is included.
Host note: Ask for the discount amount and then the final price; keep tax out of the calculation.

ROUND 9 — Reason — Logic — $1,000,000 virtual
Question: Five players each shake hands once with every other player. How many unique handshakes occur?
A: 5
B: 20
C: 10
D: 25
Accepted answer: C — 10
Explanation: Counting four partners for each of five players gives twenty, but counts each handshake twice. Dividing by two gives ten unique pairs.
Host note: Ask why counting each player's four partners counts every handshake twice.
