How to Play Millionaire

The rules of the Millionaire game are simple: you must answer each question correctly to proceed - if you answer one question wrong, the game is over. Look in the bottom-right corner of your screen to see if you answered the question correctly or not.

To end or start a new game, click on the 'X' next to the lifelines (top of screen). You will be presented with a new page where you have two options: you can end the game and return to the course, or you can start a new game.

Sudoku

This game shows a sudoku puzzle to the students with not enough numbers to allow it to be solved. For each question the student correctly answers an additional number is slotted into the puzzle to make it easier to solve.

The hidden picture

This game randomly grabs an image from a glossary and hides it behind panels. As each question is answered correctly a portion of the image is revealed. How fast can they guess the image? The picture can be taken from another glossary, in case of glossaries with no pictures.

Snakes and Ladders

The students have to traverse a traditional “Snakes and Ladders” board by answering questions taken from either a Glossary or quiz short answer questions. As they get an answer right, the dice is rolled and a random number displayed. The game piece is moved ahead that many squares. If the game piece is in the bottom of a ladder and the answer is correct, it goes to the top. If the game piece is in head of snake and the answer is wrong, it goes to the tail.
