How to use the download
- Open the .txt file in any text editor, or paste it into your own document.
- Replace the example with material your audience knows. Give each question one defensible correct answer.
- Plan five warm-ups, six application questions and four harder rounds. Adjust that balance to your group.
- Keep the answer key private. Present each question and its choices from your own document or slides; reveal the answer after discussion.
- Choose a response rule, time limit and virtual scoring scheme before the session. Print the edited document if you prefer paper notes.

Worked ladder: number and reasoning
This complete nine-question review reuses the number and reasoning questions from our original bank. Three recall rounds lead into three application rounds and three reasoning rounds. These are editorial stages, not measured difficulty levels; check the prerequisites and reorder for your learners.
The values below match the standard nine-question ladder in the online builder. Cash-style labels represent virtual points. No real money is awarded; a ladder level is not the sum of all earlier values.
Both editable text files are free without an account. The player file contains only questions and choices; the host file adds accepted answers, explanations, teaching notes and preparation rules. Keep the host file and the disclosures below off the shared screen. A collapsed answer is still present in this page.
How many sides does a triangle have?
- Two
- Three
- Four
- Five
Host key: answer, explanation and teaching note
Accepted answer: B — Three
A triangle is a polygon with three straight sides and three angles.
Host note: Ask players to identify the defining feature of a triangle.
Which number is even?
- 17
- 24
- 31
- 45
Host key: answer, explanation and teaching note
Accepted answer: B — 24
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.
Which of these numbers is prime?
- 21
- 27
- 33
- 29
Host key: answer, explanation and teaching note
Accepted answer: D — 29
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.
Which fraction has the same value as three quarters?
- 3/8
- 4/6
- 6/8
- 9/16
Host key: answer, explanation and teaching note
Accepted answer: C — 6/8
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.
A host puts six pencils in each of twelve boxes. How many pencils are in the boxes altogether?
- 18
- 36
- 60
- 72
Host key: answer, explanation and teaching note
Accepted answer: D — 72
There are twelve groups of six, so 12 × 6 = 72 pencils.
Host note: Allow scratch paper; ask players to write the multiplication sentence.
Two interior angles of a triangle are 60° and 50°. What is the third angle in ordinary plane geometry?
- 70°
- 80°
- 90°
- 110°
Host key: answer, explanation and teaching note
Accepted answer: A — 70°
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.
A lunch menu offers three sandwiches and four drinks. If you choose one of each, how many different combinations are possible?
- 7
- 12
- 16
- 24
Host key: answer, explanation and teaching note
Accepted answer: B — 12
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.
A board game normally costs $80. What is its price after a 25% discount, before tax?
- $60
- $55
- $65
- $75
Host key: answer, explanation and teaching note
Accepted answer: A — $60
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.
Five players each shake hands once with every other player. How many unique handshakes occur?
- 5
- 20
- 10
- 25
Host key: answer, explanation and teaching note
Accepted answer: C — 10
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.
Prepare the worked quiz for your group
- Check the group’s prior work on prime numbers, fractions, triangle angles, multiplication, percentages and pair counting. Read the host explanations and adapt questions that fall outside your lesson.
- For a manual document session, try 30 seconds of silent thinking and 30 seconds of team discussion. Rotate the spokesperson and accept either the listed letter or its matching answer text.
- Ask for one final choice before revealing the answer. For a continuing review, a wrong answer earns no advance; discuss it and keep everyone in the next round. Tell players this rule before starting.
- Show only the player file or manually copy each question into your own document or slides. Keep the private host key separate. These files contain no slide automation or automatic scoring.
To run it online, enter each question and A–D choice manually in the builder, select Correct answer, and add its explanation under Optional details. Use Remove last questionto leave nine slots. Keep the generated ladder, then choose Create Game. In My Games, use Preview to rehearse, Edit to correct and Host live to set up a room. The online mode’s rules apply there; the manual review rule above does not change them.
The TXT downloads do not automatically import or save a game. A Free account supports up to 3 saved games and 3 participant devices in a room. The standard generated ladder is available free; custom reward labels and other paid capabilities are described on the pricing page.
Source and adaptation note: all nine prompts, choices and explanations come from our 15 original practice questions. This is a mixed number-and-reasoning review, not a curriculum-aligned assessment. Check it against your lesson materials. To rehearse the answer-and-reveal interaction first, try the browser sample.
What is in this Millionaire Game template?
The editable text file gives each round a question, four answers, a correct-answer field, an explanation, a virtual score and a host note. A worked example and a pre-session checklist show how to fill it in.
The file is available immediately. It does not contain macros, linked slides, automatic scoring or a built-in game player. Keep the answer key separate from anything you share with players.
Use it with your document or presentation tool
Paste the worksheet into your preferred editor and adapt it to your topic. To present with PowerPoint or Google Slides, manually place each question and its choices on a slide, with the answer and explanation on a separate slide.
This download is a content-planning worksheet, not a PowerPoint or Google Slides game template. It does not repair slide links, automate reveals or save games to your account.
Choose rules before writing the final round
Decide how players respond, how long they can discuss, and whether a wrong answer ends a run or simply leads to feedback. For a classroom, keep everyone thinking by asking each team to write an answer before a spokesperson responds.
Use virtual points throughout. Pick clear, original names for any help rule and tell the group how many times it can be used.
