Win A Million SE Instructions
Objective
Win A Million! is a trivia strategy game that will test your general knowledge as you answer a series of increasingly difficult questions over five levels of play in your quest to complete all levels of the game and Win A Million!

Game Board
Win A Million! has five levels of play. The first level or row contains five Question Cards, the second level has four cards and continues this progression to the top of the board until the fifth level with just one card. Two Bail Out Cards are displayed on the game board, which allow you to answer two questions incorrectly. Two Hint Cards are also displayed, which when used will eliminate one or more of the possible answers you have to choose from.

The game objective is to successfully answer all of the questions under the Category Cards in the first row in order to go on to the second level of questions. As you continue to progress through each level the number of questions decreases, but the difficulty of the questions increases. The higher the level, the more points will be awarded for a correct answer. The ultimate goal of the game is to successfully complete all 5 levels and Win A Million!

Game Play
To start a new game of Win A Million! click on the New Game Button. The game starts at the first level of play, which contains five Question Cards. The 8 categories of Question Cards will be randomly shuffled and then 5 cards will be placed on the first level of play. At this point you will have the option to change a category by clicking on the Category Card that you would like to change. If you do not want to change a category you may click on the I Like These Button and begin play.

Select your first question by clicking on the Category Card of your choice. Your question will appear on the screen with four possible answers and you will have 30 seconds to answer the question. If you know the answer, click on the button of your choice. If your answer is correct you will be awarded points; the Category Card will be marked off and you will be allowed to go on to your next question. If your answer is incorrect then the game will automatically use one of your two Bail Out Cards and you will be presented a different question in the same category.

If you do not know the answer to a question presented you have the option of using one of your Hint Cards in order to eliminate one or more of the answers displayed. To use a hint card, just click on the card. You only have two Hint Cards for the entire game so use them carefully. Play will end when you have either completed all levels or have been eliminated from the game by answering three questions incorrectly. Your score will be compared against the Top Ten High Scores to see if it qualifies to be entered into the Win A Million! Scoreboard.

As you successfully progress through the questions on a level your points will accumulate in the manner presented below.
