Independent game rules

How to Play a Custom Millionaire Game

The host presents a sequence of four-answer questions that become more difficult. Correct answers advance an individual or team up a virtual point ladder; no real money is awarded.

Core rules

Use this seven-part structure as a starting point and adapt it to your group, topic, and hosting style.

  • The host presents a series of multiple-choice questions.
  • Questions increase in difficulty.
  • Correct answers move the player or team up a virtual point ladder.
  • An incorrect answer ends or reduces the run, based on host settings.
  • The host may enable original help options.
  • A player or team may stop at designated milestones if enabled.
  • The highest completed level becomes the final virtual score.

Original help concepts

Help options include Remove Two, Group Poll, Ask a Teammate, and Reveal a Hint. Choose the options that fit your audience before the game begins.

A practical host setup

Test screen sharing, explain how answers are chosen, name the virtual scoring rule, and decide whether discussion happens before or after a selection. Keep the pace steady without rushing the hardest questions.

Keep the format independent

Use your own questions, visuals, language, and rules. Millionaire Game does not provide official television assets and is not affiliated with the franchise.
