The Millionaire Game (Dryicoran game show)

The Millionaire Game is a Dryicoran game show broadcast on Kanal 4 from 2001 until 2009, and again from 2022. The game is a version of Show do Milhão, a Brazilian game show similar to .

Gameplay
The programme consists of five rounds and then one final million-kronor question. The first contains five questions, worth a cumulative 1 000 Kr. The second is worth 10 000 Kr, the third 100 000 Kr, then there is a sixteenth question for 1 000 000 Kr.

As they scale the money ladder, they have three lifelines they can use only once (except on the million-kronor question), and they can switch the question three times. Unlike the Brazilian original, the player can switch the million-kronor question, but only once (irrespective of how many switches the contestant has left).

The lifelines are: In 2005, the show was played with a massive 20 000 000 Kr jackpot for a special week called "The Multi-Millionaire Game". Contestants only got to the 100 000 Kr at maximum, the biggest winner winning 50 000 Kr.
 * University: Three university students give their answer. The contestant decides whether to trust it or not.
 * Audience: The audience votes by raising one of four numbered plates, corresponding to the answer they think it is, a bit like the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Ask the Audience lifeline.
 * Cards: Four playing cards are turned over and the participant chooses one:
 * King: Nothing happens.
 * Ace: One option is removed.
 * 2: Removes two options.
 * 3: The correct answer is given to the contestant.

Reception
Reaction to the original from critics was poor, most criticising it as a rip-off of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (as the Brazilian original was). However, viewer reaction was more positive, and the show maintained high ratings throughout its run. The reboot was also praised by critics.
