Now You're In The Hot Seat!
Do you always know the answer to obscure questions? Now you can get your shot at the Hot Seat, a little fame, and a big chunk of virtual dollars. It's time to show the world how smart you really are.
All you have to do is give the correct answers to 15 multiple-choice questions. The difficulty level ratchets up with each new question.

Go it alone or flex your mind muscles in the 2 Player Fastest Finger Round to see who gets first shot at the main event. Answer all 15 questions and $1,000,000 in fantasy prize money is yours.

Rules
•
Answer 15 multiple-choice questions correctly in a row. Each question has four possible answers. The first question is worth $100. The interim questions are worth progressively higher payoffs. The last question is worth $1,000,000.
•
You have 30 seconds to answer the question or ask for a Lifeline.
•
If you answer a question incorrectly or run over the 30-second time limit, the game is over and you lose all your winnings. However, if you have passed either the $1,000 or the $32,000 milestones, you walk away with those amounts.
•
Three Lifelines are available to help answer tough questions. You have 15 seconds to answer the question after you use a Lifeline. You can use each Lifeline only once during a game.
•
Once you use up all your Lifelines, you may elect to quit the game. If you've reached either the $1,000 or $32,000 milestones, then you won't walk away empty-handed.
•
Sometimes Regis will ask, "Is that your final answer?" If you say no, Regis will give you 10 seconds to reconsider. You must give your final answer within that 10 seconds or lose the game.
•
If this is a 2 Player game, a Fastest Finger contest is run first to see which player gets to sit in the Hot Seat.
The Hot Seat
Take the Hot Seat and get ready to prove how smart you are! When the question is asked, press the button on your controller that corresponds to the answer you choose. Don't wait too long. You have 30 seconds. If you don't know the answer, press R1 to use a Lifeline.
Progressing Up The Ladder
The prize money escalates with each correctly answered question. The Money screen shows how much money you have earned and how many questions you have answered. A white diamond appears next to each answered level.
End Of The Game
The game is over when you answer the 15th question correctly, answer any question incorrectly, or run out of time before answering a question. If you've won any money, you will be presented with a personally signed check from Regis himself.
Fastest Finger (2 Player Game)
Fastest Finger is a 2 Player contest to see who gets first shot at the Hot Seat and the $1,000,000 prize.
1. On the Contestants screen, press the button for a 2 Player game.
2. Be sure there are two controllers inserted in your PlayStation game console. Use the Player 1 controller to make menu decisions before the Fastest Finger contest. 3. Read the question at the top of the screen. Then put the four items at the bottom of the screen in proper order by pressing the buttons that correspond to the items.
4. When you have the answers arranged, press the R1 button as fast as you can. The person who selects the correct order first wins the right to sit in the Hot Seat.
