Sound
How do I access my previous games
Decent, but a few big let downs
Good, but the lower level questions are too hard
Brilliant
Good but questions are unbalanced
Example:
For £100: Which character did Judi Dench play in ‘The Quantum of Solace’?
I’d say that’d belong in… Question 8 to 10 territory.
And also, the questions are a bit too easy as well.
Example 2:
For £32,000: What is the background colour of the Tunisian flag? That should be, at most, Question 6.
I would sort of like it if the questions were easier on the 100-1,000 level like it works in the actual show, then they gradually get harder as you climb.
I like the features where you can set your 2nd safe landmark and that, my only grudge is that the questions are kind of unbalanced. I give this game a 7 out of 10.
Best authentic Millionaire game on the App Store
If I could make suggestions, it would be nice to hear the music that plays when you get a £100-£1000 question wrong from the original series (though I’m not sure if this has changed in the modern format), as well as the music that plays when the player walks off the stage when a game has finished regardless of whether they won or not (just for authenticity).
It would also be good if the questions were balanced out a bit more in the £100-£1000 range, some felt as though they belong in the range above.
There are also a few questions and answers that have some spelling mistakes - ‘Amazom’ being one of the answers to a question about which company is known for Gmail.
Other than that, this game is a recommendation!

Disappointing
Update - another question for £1,000 - which show was Big Bird in had the wrong answer. It should be Sesame Street not The Muppet Show!
Good if it had the correct answers!
The game is advertised on the British TV show but it’s clearly made for the US market and the questions are biased. Plus, the first under £1000 questions sometimes include a tough one, unlike the easy TV equivalent.
Graphics are great, question selection needs work!
There are major issues with the question selection, however. Some questions are far too difficult for the value of the prize. The first five questions should generally not require too much brainpower - yet I’m finding that some asked might be better placed in the second or third five.
Also had an issue with the lifelines where, after having taken a 50:50, the audience only voted on the two answers that had been removed. That was a one-off though.
In summary, lovely graphics and feel, but questions need re-sorting as to where in the cash ladder they should be asked.
Decent overall
Agree with another review that says some questions are oddly priced, but then things are always easy if you know.
Lifelines are frustrating, appreciate they aren’t always perfect in the show, but the number of wrong answers given on answers between £2,000-£16,000 is a bit much.
Great effort though really like playing, and enjoy the leaderboards each week
Harder than the show
Below par

Lots of potential
The bug with the ask the audience lifeline giving 0% to the correct answer also makes it very difficult
Response from developer
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the game. We truly appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns regarding the question difficulty and the 'Ask the Audience' lifeline. We strive to maintain the authenticity and challenge of the original "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" show in our game. To ensure this, the questions you encounter are either directly from the show or carefully reviewed and approved by the Millionaire question team. This rigorous process is one of the key aspects that makes our game highly engaging and true to the show’s spirit. While some questions may seem particularly challenging, reaching the £32,000 milestone itself is a significant achievement and a testament to your skill and knowledge. If you have more feedback or suggestions, please feel free to send us an email at millionaire@spe.sony.com. We're always eager to hear from our players and improve the game experience. Thank you for playing, and we value your continued support and enthusiasm for the game.
Great game

Oh dear
There are some major flaws I see with the game:
- The questions are out of whack. I’m not sure who you have marking how hard the questions are but in the earlier questions (especially 6-10) the questions are too hard. I am a seasoned quizzed, have played thousands of quizzes and watched hundreds of episodes of millionaire. What you have here doesn’t stack up. It is fundamentally too hard. Even some of the earliest questions aren’t deserving to be that early on.
- I find Ask the Audience frustrating, as a few times it will give a graph of two answers where the question had four, and on a few of those instances 0% of the audience got the question right, which I am certain has never happened before on the real show.
- The audience in the background is jarring as the imagery keeps clipping. Please sort this out.
- The text on the golden millionaire logo where it stated how much you’ve won is far too small. There’s room for bigger, please make it so, it’s hard to read.
- Finally, there’s just no ambience at all. No tension, no atmosphere, nothing. It’s bland, and I’d expect more here.
I’m happy you created a true to life game of millionaire without the gimmicks of tokens, collecting characters and all that frankly nonsense, but the game only gets 2* at this stage because it has some way to go before I opt to use it as a daily game I want to play. It’s more irritating than it is educational or fun at this point.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. Your perspective as an experienced quiz enthusiast is greatly appreciated. Question Difficulty: Thanks for your comments on difficulty. We want to let you know that the questions you encounter are either those actually used in the show itself or are approved for their difficulty levels by the Millionaire question team. It's one of the very best things about the game. While it seems you've been stumped a few times, reaching a million is, as you know, always a challenge. We believe you'll find the game to be very well balanced as you continue to play. Text Size on the Logo: We've taken your comments about the text size on the logo to heart and are looking into making it more legible in future updates. Ensuring our game is accessible and enjoyable is of utmost importance to us. Game Ambience: For an immersive gaming experience, we recommend having the volume on. The official soundtrack, along with the show's characteristic sound effects, particularly the heartbeat music, are fundamental in creating the suspenseful atmosphere you know and love from the TV show. Game Design Feedback: We pride ourselves on creating a mobile game that closely adheres to the TV show's format. The "Ask the Audience" lifeline is designed to offer diminishing returns as the game progresses, mimicking the show's increasing difficulty. It is possible, albeit rare, for the audience to converge on two out of four answers, adding a realistic layer of unpredictability. Audience Rendering: We've rigorously tested the rendering of audience members to maintain high-quality visuals. If you're experiencing any graphical issues or would like more information, our support team is ready to assist you. Your feedback is invaluable in our ongoing efforts to enhance the game. If you have any more thoughts or require further assistance, please reach out to us at millionaire@spe.sony.com. Thank you once again for your insightful feedback.
