Format of Millionaire Hot Seat

Six contestants play each episode of Hot Seat, which was created to be a faster-paced game than the standard Millionaire format. They compete to be the first person to reach the goal amount and correctly answer the question about it. The greatest amount on the money tree is where the objective amount begins.

The usual three lifelines are replaced with a single “pass” lifeline, which sends the current competitor to the back of the line while passing the current question to the person in front of them (who cannot pass that question further).

There is a time limit assigned to each question, with 15 seconds allotted for the first five, 30 for the next five, and 45 for the final five. The timer begins when McGuire reads the question and the four answer options. The pass lifeline is automatically used if a player doesn’t respond within the allotted time.

The current contender is treated as having given an incorrect answer if time runs out and they are unable to pass the question (either because they were passed the current question or because they have already used their pass).

Unlike previous Millionaire formats, this one does not end when a player selects the incorrect response. The objective amount is instead decreased to the next lowest tier on the money tree, the current player is dismissed from the game, the next player in line becomes the “Hot Seat” competitor, and everyone else moves up one chair (unless it is lower than the current tier). Play resumes once a new question is posed and the players have been rearranged. Additionally, players are not permitted to leave the game at any time.

The format was expanded to include audio and visual questions in the second part of 2011. Once per episode, generally at the start of the game, a visual or auditory question would be posed.
