Leave a Review Millionaire Trivia
Fun game
I really enjoy playing this game. It’s a fun game for the most part but there are a couple key issues that prevent me from giving a higher review. The first is how when you tie an opponent for the million dollar box...I get half of the prize. I think that if I answer all the questions right I should get the full million dollar prize and so should my opponent. It doesn’t make sense for both people to answer all questions correctly and not get the full prize.
Second, I don’t like how the advancement process works. I have to finish in the top ten to get to the next level (silver I, II, III, etc.) okay so I get that. What I don’t like is how if I don’t finish in the top 70 I get demoted to the level I was previously on. It doesn’t make sense. Basically, I am getting penalized for either not having the time to play the game as much as other people do or I don’t spend enough money (I spend zero money on this game) to stay competitive with the players who either play all hours of the day or who spend actual money to advance in the game. I think if you don’t advance to the next tier, that you should just stay where you are and not get demoted. That is ridiculous.
Third, I’m not a fan of how unreliable the common lifeline can be. How does an automated audience get a question wrong? Again, it doesn’t make sense.
Like I said, I do like playing this game but the things listed above make it an okay game but not an amazing game.Show lessJTMoC19

I would love to give WWTBAM a five star rating, and hope to one day. The format is great, it has in app purchases but I don’t feel pressured in any way to buy them, and I really enjoy playing it before bed and ending the day with some trivia. That said, it could use a wider variety of questions. Sometimes I’ll get three definition of geography questions in a row, which gets a bit old. More customization of user profiles would be nice, like the ability to use GameCenter instead of Facebook, or the ability to add profile photos without Facebook. GameCenter especially would be the biggest and most welcome change; meaning the ability to play against friends without having to use what is essentially spyware. Other than that though this game is great and I really appreciate it being free.Show lessNannini
Love it!!
This is my favorite solo game app! Feels like authentic game show, including the graphics, the tense music, and the humorous wrong answers on the lower money questions. I like that there’s a limit to how many games i can play before running low on coins or lifelines or filling my mystery box slots and having to wait a few hours or another day. It keeps me from bingeing! I think the game strikes a really nice balance in the speed at which we progress through levels, collect experts and upgrades, &c. Also i like how the 4-hour mystery boxes gradually increase in the number of coins they award. I was stuck in the first city for a while, but now that i’m playing higher cities i’m also receiving more coins to afford them. No complaints! I did find it ironic once that William Shakespeare didn’t know an answer about his own work, but that struck me as amusing (i realize those are somewhat randomly distributed) rather than annoying. Finally i love the structure of the game, and always having that next goal to play toward. Thanks!!Show lessI Wants To Be A Millionaire
Needs more questions
I enjoy the game but it would definitely be more of a challenge with a much larger supply of questions. I haven't even been playing a month and the questions are already repeating. I remember the answers to some of them that I didn't know the first time around, and if I took the trouble to write them down I'd hardly ever need a lifeline or an expert.
Updating after another month. I've learned some new facts, which is fun. Who would have guessed there was such a thing as an enigmatic porcupine? Questions repeat a lot, and with the help of available experts I rarely miss an answer.
As a result, I currently have four gold boxes waiting to open, and I don't get much actual game time without (a)buying gems for real money, which I won't do, or (b)declining new boxes and just playing for coins and points, which is the best option for me.Show lessCelia703
Really good game but
I really do enjoy this game a lot and I play this game a lot every single day, especially with the opponent making it even funnier to play. I just don’t like the ads they are becoming every annoying, For example every question I get wrong or move to the next stage there is always an ad. The coins are also annoying to having to pay coins to play compared to the other versions where you don’t, it just seems a little less fun. Also can you make the questions a little tougher to play some of them are pretty basic even for a third grader to know. I know I won’t know them but I like the challenge and love to learn, compared to getting the money. Just little tweaks would make the game better. One other thing can you limit the amount of help given to 50 to 50 and the audience just seems boring with all the options given. Making the two options makes the game harder and interesting.Show lessRollTheDab10
Canned Response!
You tell me to contact you in my app - sorry, no can do because I deleted it! Address my issue here regarding the different orders of magnitude to play (thousands) and receive rewards to continue playing (hundreds) and I might get the app again.
Ridiculous in so many ways! Every time I played I would run out of coins to allow me to play, because it’s 1000, 2000 or 4000 (thousands) coins to play and the rewards are all 100, 200, 500, etc. (hundreds...do y’all see the problem here?!).
Lifelines are available to obtain for coins, but see above, because after you spend 1,000s to play you won’t have anything left to get them.
Bottom line, every time I played I’d run out of enough coins to play another game or obtain lifelines, and opportunities to get more coins free are rigged to fail (the “loading” circle of death, then a message, “that ad isn’t available right now) forcing you to either pay money to get more, or quit playing for the day (yeah, OK, four hours, but I’m not going to sit there and watch the clock so I can play Millionaire again) and wait for more ads to get more, which are unreliable - in an obvious design to get you to “pay to play”.
Here’s a solution to the whole problem - make the “cost” to play and the rewards the same level of magnitude - thousands OR hundreds, not thousands AND hundreds, respectively!!!Show lessLowryders

I love this game overall as I love trivia and learning new things. Really the only thing I dislike is that if you and your opponent both win the million you have to split it. You can’t control how your opponent does so there is no way to make sure you win and they lose. In my current highest city if you both win you each get $250,000 and if you both go out on the final question you each get $225,000 so you do basically as well both losing as both winning. If you got the full amount for winning regardless of if you opponent got the final question right or not it would make it more fun and might make it easier to advance leagues. That being said I truly enjoy this game and this one issue certainly isn’t enough to make me want to stop playing, I’m just mentioning it in hope that the developers may respond and explain why it is this way.Show lessDragons in the House
Disappointed in payout ratio
When I saw this game was super excited download it, but I am disappointed that I get 15 to 20 minutes of gameplay a day. Even with the mystery box that you can collect every three hours it is not pay out nearly enough to be able to enjoy this game too it’s fullest capability. UNLESS you spend money. I understand the logistics of the game. Its not worth playing when spend 1000 to 2000 on just ONE GAME and only receive half of that (at best) back for winning the match. I literally wait three hours to be able to play one to maybe two games and within 10 minutes if I just so happen to lose I have to wait another three hours just to play another 10 minutes. I know I can avoid that by spending money but with a game plan as it is it’s not worth me spending the two dollars to get 5000 coins so I can play for another 20 minutes that day.
I personally wouldn’t advise this game to anybody unless the payout ratio is a little bit better. This game is starting to feel like a waste of space in my storage because I i’m not able to play it long enough to enjoy it before I run out of coins.
But it is a great game and the user interface is very nice and the graphics are great and has lotta potential just for poor people like me it’s not worth keeping it on the phone or tablet.Show lessManda Lynne 13

Hi Manda Lynne 13, In-game winnings are based on which step you place on the Money Ladder - the higher the tier, the greater the rewards! The “Walking Away” button also locks in your position and allows you to keep all of your earnings. If you have any other questions, please contact us by tapping the small gear icon on the home page. Thanks!Not impressed
The game could be much more satisfying if it actually worked likectgextv version. The difficulty of the questions is in no way equal to the increase in prize money. First questions are often more of a 100,000 question and the million? Is usually a simple question. Experts with 3 stars in a category get a question wrong or don’t know the answer 75% of the time. Similar with ask the audience. If you are fortunate to make it through the million dollar question it says you are a millionaire but you only get double what you paid in coins to play. I’ve seen multiple questions that there is no correct answer listed. It says a correct one but I know none of the listed answers are correct. This game could easily be 5 stars but has many flaws. Fix them and I will upgrade my review. Just today the question was in the human body what is the hamstring. That is a muscle. However the game said that was wrong and gave tendon as the correct answer. I lost because of tgat. This game is quite flawed.Show lessLove the game, but frustrated

I think this is a great game. It is challenging and fun. I wish a couple things were different however. First and biggest issue is that you CANNOT progress up the ladder without the help from lifeline cards, the 50:50 and the Ask the Audience as well as Ask the Experts. The expert cards are great and the game provides enough of them with the mystery boxes. However the lifeline cards are not provided as plentifully as you need them. You have to purchase them with gems. Gems are expensive to purchase. It would be nice if the developers who, I understand need purchases to keep the game going, reduced the cost of the gems which you absolutely have to have in order to progress up the ladder. The other thing is that if you beat your opponent going up the ladder and run out of lifelines, if you try answering your last question and miss it you drop down the ladder to wherever you beat your opponent. Annoying to have to choose not to answer the question and can walk away which you can do and get what you won on the previous rung. There are a couple other things but cost of the gems is really my biggest issue with what is otherwise a really great game.Show lessIsle1313
