Test your knowledge with new questions every day

How to play

1. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire basics

There are 15 questions, each question has four possible answers. The questions range from £100 to £1 Million and consecutively increase in difficulty. The more you answer correctly, the more money you win.

2. Safety Nets

Safety nets are levels which lock your win amount, if you incorrectly answer a question after reaching a safety net, your win amount falls back down to the safety net amount.

Per game you get two safety nets:

  1. At £1,000 <-- this one is always the same every game.
  2. Between £2,000 <--> £1 MILLION it is entirely up to you when you set it.

You will be prompted to set your second safety net at every level above £1,000 until you set it, like this:

£ 32,000

Would you like to set your safety net?

If you set your safety net e.g. at £32,000. You then need to get the £32,000 question correct for that safety net to take effect.

After that, if you get a question wrong you will always fall back to £32,000. Note, if you don't set your second safety net then you will fall back to £1,000 if you get a question wrong. And if you don't make it to £1,000 then your win amount will be £0.

Safety nets are displayed in a different colour:

£ 64,000
-->
£ 32,000
£ 16,000
