The idea
What is How Want to Be a Billionaire?
A quiz show for your living room. The host screen shows a question and four possible answers, everyone picks one on their phone before the timer runs out, and then the right answer is revealed. Questions cover history, science, geography, sports, food, literature, mythology and more. Harder questions are worth more, from 100 up to 1,000 points, so one brave answer can turn the whole leaderboard around.
