Stop press! 1 vs 100 will be coming to Xbox LIVE™ in the UK on July 10th, delivering the first truly interactive game show experience straight to the living room.

1 vs 100 will run as a beta in Season 1 from 10th July – 30th August 2009 and will be a regularly scheduled show.

Players can be chosen as “The One”, “The Mob” or “The Crowd”, be entertained by a host and compete against thousands of other Xbox LIVE members, as they race to become the ultimate 1 vs 100 champion.

Players can also play the show in ‘Extended play’ mode throughout the week which allows players to play for fun, gaining experience and entries into a sweepstake which is run alongside the 1vs 100 LIVE shows.

A variety of general knowledge questions, which are constantly updated and supplied by a team of trivia experts, will test “The One” against “The Mob”, with the opportunity to win some fantastic prizes.

Woohoo!

FAQ:

When can I win prizes?

After the first week of Beta.

I've got silver, can I play?

No, gold only.

What versions are there?

The different versions of 1 vs 100 are 1 vs 100 Live and 1 vs 100 Extended Play. 1 vs 100 Live is a two-hour game with a live host and big prizes in which players may be selected for high-profile roles like the Mob and The One. 1 vs 100 Extended Play is a fast-paced, half-hour show—the more you play, the better your chances of being picked as the Mob or The One in 1 vs 100 Live!

What is The One and The Mob and how can I be one?

1 vs 100 Live has a featured player known as The One. The One plays against the 100 players who make up The Mob. The One and The Mob are selected at the beginning of each round. Players sign up for a chance to be selected as The One or The Mob when they first enter the game lobby. Players who are not selected as The One or The Mob play in The Crowd.

How can I improve my chances of being selected as The One or The Mob?

Each round, we select the One and the Mob based on players’ past performance in both 1 vs 100 Live and 1 vs 100 Extended Play: answer quickly, correctly, and play often to increase your chances.

And what are these Helps I’m hearing about in 1 vs 100 Live?

During any question, after the timer appears, and before it runs out, The One can press Y to use a Help, which provides The One with an answer to the question. It is not necessarily a correct answer, but represents consensus amongst the different player roles into which helps are grouped.

The Helps are:

* Trust the Mob : The One’s answer becomes whatever the majority of The Mob answered.

* Trust the Crowd : The One’s answer becomes whatever the majority of The Crowd answered.

* Trust the Brain : The One’s answer becomes whatever the top scoring player in the current round chose for his or her answer.

A correct answer provided to The One by a Help is scored just the same as if The One had chosen the correct answer.

What is 1 vs 100 Extended Play?

1 vs 100 Extended Play is a different 1 vs 100 experience, available through Xbox LIVE, with two episodes an hour at regularly scheduled times.

In Extended Play there is no One and no Crowd--all players appear in a single Mob. Everyone who joins the game is seated in the same Mob, which is scalable well past one hundred players (it could be made up of thousands and thousands of players).

Can I earn 1 vs 100 (beta) Season 1 Achievements during the UK Beta Season 1?

Achievements will not be awarded during the UK Beta Season 1 for now.

Can I make my avatar dance and make gestures?

You bet! We call it “Amping”!

Amping is how your character celebrates or shows off during the game.

Press the Y button to Amp. Press the D-button left or right to switch to another Amping gesture. Try pressing Y rapidly and repeatedly to “level up” and see special animations.

Amping includes jumping, dancing, clapping, flexing, fist-pumping and other enthusiastic gestures. Amping is available as an option whenever you can see your Avatar. If you can’t see your Avatar during certain parts of the game flow, your special animation will continue until you can see your Avatar again.

Why did another player get more score than me even though we both got the question right?

Players can earn Bonuses that can positively affect the points they receive for a given question. Players may receive a Speed Bonus for answering questions more quickly than other players. If a player selects the correct answer the moment after it appears, they get an Instant Answer Bonus. And players get streak bonuses for answering at least two consecutive questions correctly.

Where do I set my 1 vs 100 (beta) Season 1 privacy setting?

When you first enter the 1 vs 100 (beta) Season 1 LIVE lobby, you will be presented with the choice between “Public” and “Private” settings. Subsequently, you can check or change the privacy setting by pressing Start and selecting Options and then Your Privacy.

What does privacy setting “Public” mean?

For players with adult Xbox LIVE accounts, setting Privacy to “Public” makes them eligible to be The One, in the Mob, or in the Crowd. It also makes them eligible to receive callouts from the host.

For players with child Xbox LIVE accounts, setting Privacy to “Public” makes them eligible to be in the Mob or the Crowd. Child accounts are not eligible to win prizes or receive callouts from the host.

What does privacy setting “Private” mean?

Setting Privacy to “Private” makes players eligible only to play in the Crowd. It also makes them ineligible to receive callouts from the host.

Where can I see when the next games are?

you guys really aren't missing much lol. I played for about the first 2-3 weeks for it and haven't touched it since.

not for anything but did you see the show prior to playing online?... its exactly the same as the tv show so I am not sure what you were expecting?... trivia is trivia... but at least here you have chances to win prizes...

do you realize the odds of winning prizes are extremely high? On top of the sheer number of players, you would have to play every night and consistently get in the top players in order to even have a chance at being in the mob and having a chance to win prizes.

From Xbox.com

?1 vs. 100 (beta) Season 1? is a special Xbox LIVE edition of the ?1 vs. 100? show that will air 7.30-9.30pm on Fridays and Saturdaysdays, presented by our live host James McCourt who you may know from The National Lottery. Just like the TV show upon which it is based, ?1 vs. 100 (beta) Season 1? selects one person, known as The One, from thousands of Xbox LIVE Gold volunteers to go up against a panel of 100 contestants chosen to stand as The Mob.

Ooooo James McCourt from The Natio:pl Lottery :p

I quite enjoyed it and was in the same 'room' as DrunknMunky, what are the chances...

The host only spoke during one of the breaks and said that they're working out the kinks, nice to know I guess.

I was in the same room although I could' not hear you guys. It was fun though. How do you get to be part of the Mob or The One? Are they chosen from the crowd?
