1 vs. 100
One player must correctly answer a series of multiple-choice trivia questions while trying to outlast "The Mob" of 100 people, who are also trying to answer each question. If The One is correct, all Mob members who answered the question incorrectly are eliminated, bringing the lone contestant closer to winning the game. Along the way, The One can "Poll the Mob" or "Trust the Mob" for help with the answers. If the contestant eliminates all 100 Mob members, they claims the top prize of $50,000. However, if The One is incorrect, the game ends and contestant leaves with nothing, and the remaining members of the Mob split the contestant's winnings.
