A multiple-choice question is asked, the mob keys in their answers, and then the contestant reveals their answer. Each question is worth a different amount of money (like in Millionaire), but here's the kicker: for each Mob member that's eliminated due to a wrong answer, the contestant wins that much money (ie if 10 Mob members get the $500 question wrong, the contestant wins $5000). I guess the goal is to answer 12 questions and eventually win a million dollars. You also get to have help from the Mob twice (similar to Millionaire's 50/50 lifeline), in which the question is asked and two random Mob members are selected (one with the right answer and the other with the wrong one). The Mob members tell the contestant which answer he should go with. Anyway, I've been playing the online game for about an hour, and I found it addicting.
