Play in teams, for a fun and fast competition, or play in self-paced mode, to assess knowledge. This game works great for both classroom-led sessions as well as Self-Paced mode.
Self-Paced or Instructor-Led

Adding Questions
In the Billionaire game, you can have up to 15 questions, and the questions will appear in a sequential order. Each point value is pre-determined and will build when you progress through a session. The question editor works identically in Billionaire as in any of the game templates in the BravoZone. You can add Preview and Summary slides to add additional teaching points to your session. You can also drag questions from your library as well. If you choose this option, it will only be available in Instructor-Led mode and available for each participant to use once in a session. It requires at least three answers to a question. This feature in gameplay will only be visible if you enable the “Ask the Expert” helpline and add a hint.
Session Options

Available Helplines
By default two helplines are available. The Ask an Expert is only available in an Instructor-led session. By default, these two options are enabled; however, you can choose to turn them off. As mentioned earlier you the Ask an Expert is only available if you have added a Hint to a question. 50/50 will randomly choose two answers for the student to use, one of which will be correct. This feature will only be available if you have three or more answers to your questions.
