Trivia Millionaire is a basic trivia game that's modeled after the popular television show, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Unfortunately, the things that made that show so entertaining--the timing and suspense--are wholly lacking from Trivia Millionaire.

The program's interface is basic and sleek; it's also fairly intuitive, which is good, given the program's lack of Help file. Users are asked a series of trivia questions and must select the correct answer from four choices. When users are stumped, they can have the program eliminate two wrong answers, select an answer for them, or spin a wheel to determine whether to continue. Everything works fine, and the questions start off quite easy and get appropriately more difficult as users progress through the game. We also liked that the game allows users to create new sets of questions on their own. Our main problem with the game was that, unfortunately, it's kind of boring. The TV show was suspenseful, with tense music and host Regis Philbin asking contestants, "Is that your final answer?" Trivia Millionaire creates suspense, but of an annoying kind; users have to wait 5 seconds after selecting an answer to find out whether it's correct. This makes gameplay drag; who wants to sit and wait for a computer game to respond? We love trivia, but the slow pace of this game made us lose interest quickly.

Trivia Millionaire has a one-day trial period. It installs desktop icons without asking but uninstalls cleanly. We recommend this program to all users; we didn't find it that exciting, but it's not awful.

Major cons but good qb tool
nickg1980October 13, 2008
Pros
Good question building tool. Reasonable look.
Cons
Can install only once. Poor sound effects. Very, very slow. Graphics will not work on all computers. Three lifelines are different. Limited built-in questions.
Summary
Does not let you install a second time bukllying you into paying for software which really isn't worth it. Let's face it, the quality of this game isn't good enough to charge for it! Sounds very poor. Try to get replacement sounds from elsewhere on the internet. Replace the .wav files with files of the same name to replace sounds. Very slow. Very, very slow. Graphics will not work on all computers - need high quality graphics card although there are no complex visualisations in the program. Three lifelines are different - an ask the audience and phone a friend simulation like many other online versions would be good. Limited built-in questions. Software should come with lots of pre-made questions. The Question Building tool is the only thing that really makes this program worth a second look. If you aren't made of money, you'll probably take a swerve away from this one!
I really enjoyed this

Pros
the questions are really good although unlike millionaire the low dollar value questions at times can be quite thought provoking. graphics are really nice though.
Cons
would be nice if there was more lifelines or maybe i'm not understanding how to get to them.
Summary

Poor man's millionaire game
MrRobinMay 4, 2005
Pros
Easy to uninstall.
Cons
Poor replica of the real game. Only 3 answers per question. Many questions I came across seemed very 'geeky' (all about starwars, computers or science). Buy the original.
