Weakest Link is a home version of the popular TV show where you play as one of 24 selectable characters. Your goal is to answer questions, bank prize money, and vote tactically to become the winner. The game presents questions in a multiple choice format with only the first letter of the answers displayed. You can adjust the difficulty settings to choose how much information to display for each question. There are also different levels of difficulty available, including one where all the answers are shown fully and another, called Junior, where there is only a choice of 2 answers.
Weakest Link supports both single and multiplayer options for the main game, as well as a longer single player championship mode. To succeed in this mode, you must play and win four shows.
The game faithfully recreates the TV studio setting with video and sound clips of host Anne Robinson, providing an authentic experience.
