MULTI-PLAYER
ELECTRONIC GAME
In multi-player mode, players/teams compete against one another and the player/team who walks away with
the most money wins the game. Players/Teams take turns selecting subjects and answering questions to
advance to the next round. Just like the game show, players/teams can use classmates to “help” them when
they are unsure of the answer to a question. Players/Teams win money for correctly answering questions. If
a player/team can answer 11 questions correctly, they win 1 million dollars!

power down the game, slide the ON/OFF switch on the top of the housing to the OFF position. We recommend
fully powering down the game to save the battery life.

and the question will scroll across the top of the screen again. There is no time limit for answering questions,
so take your time!
If you answer the question correctly, you will earn money and the game will continue. The money lights will
show you how much money you have won throughout the game. See the Money section of the instructions

During questions 1-4, if you answer a question incorrectly and cannot be “saved”, you will end the game with $0.
Once you answer question 5 correctly, you are guaranteed to win at least $25,000. So, during questions 6-11, if you
answer any question incorrectly and cannot be “saved”, you will end the game with $25,000.

You can “drop out” of the game at any time during questions 2-11 and end the game with your current earnings
(dropping out on question 1 will not win you any money). For questions 2-10, you can “drop out” of the game after
you have read the question. For the Million Dollar Question, you can only view the subject before deciding to “drop
out” of the game. Once the Million Dollar Question is read, you can no longer "drop out", so if the question is
answered incorrectly, you will end the game with $25,000.
