Let’s play Millionaire Maker

Every answer is a decision. Talk it through, make your choice and watch the next step light up.

Millionaire Maker second multiple-choice question about a hexagon beside the fifteen-step prize ladder — **Is that your answer?**Four choices appear beside the prize ladder. A correct answer takes you up another step, with the next question waiting to test your confidence.

A simple question can start a useful conversation. Ask students to explain why one answer fits and why the other three do not.

Millionaire Maker simulated audience vote showing bars for answers A, B, C and D — **A little help when you need it.**Ask the simulated audience to see how its votes are spread. You can also use 50:50 or phone a friend. Each lifeline works once, so choose your moment.

Millionaire Maker results showing the amount won after choosing to walk away — **Know when to take a bow.**Keep going for the next prize or walk away with the amount you have reached. Safety milestones protect part of the score if a later answer goes wrong.

Make it your own

Build a climb that makes sense: Write your own multiple-choice questions or have AI draft them. Start with approachable questions and work towards the ideas you want students to think hardest about.
Use the lifelines as talking points: Pause for a discussion before choosing a lifeline. Which answers can your students already rule out, and what would make them more certain?
Choose how your class plays: Let the whole class agree on an answer, invite a volunteer to the hot seat, or have groups discuss before you make the final selection on screen.

Where will you take it?

Check understanding together: Bring back the key ideas from a unit and listen to the reasoning behind each choice. Wrong options can reveal a misconception worth exploring.
Build confidence step by step: Begin with something everyone recognises. As the questions grow harder, the shared progress gives students a reason to stay involved.
Make revision feel like an occasion: Use science, maths, history, literature or a mix of subjects. A familiar quiz-show rhythm can turn an ordinary review into a class event.

How far will your class go?

Bring your questions, a few brave guesses and a class ready to talk things through.
