Millionaire Trivia: TV Game 4+

Thoughts on a Great game

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.

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.

2 main issues

1. Free ads are never available so you can never redeem the pittance that is the free rewards in the reward cinema section. Literally the ads are never available so that’s annoying and a whole component of the game you can’t use.
2. Even more annoying sometimes you lose even if you win. What I mean is for example it cost $500 to enter the competition but if your opponent loses before you make $500 you’re still losing because you’re only guaranteed to make as far as they reached unless you win it all (unreasonable). So if you beat your opponent at the $300 you “win” the round but you’re still out $200 cause it cost you $500 to get in. If you “win” you should at least break even. Stupid. There are only a few ways around this- one is a flag which they give you 5 at the start except NEVER tell you how to use it or what it’s for which caused me to lose them using them trying to figure out what they do (hold your spot after you’ve beat an opponent and passed their question rank). The only other way is to win every single round til you get to the million dollars. That’s it. If you answer 10 more questions after beating your opponent but don’t make it to the million you’ll be rewarded for none of it. If you beat your opponent and make it to the silver box you get silver box rewards but you still don’t get the M coins for all the questions you answered to get there. Very dumb. 🥴
