Playing Billionaire Game Instructions

Launching your game: You can launch the game by either clicking on "Preview" (with a game open in the BRAVO! game builder), or by clicking on the Play.exe (PC) or the Play (Mac) in a game folder.

Making changes in your game: When a game is launched, you may have some options for making changes (depending on what you enabled in the game builder) to the number of players, or changing of the avatars. Any changes made on the player side will not be saved. If you want to have changes saved in a game, you must make them in the builder.

When Billionaire is first launched in the classroom:

You will be asked to choose how many players you want (one or two, unless set up otherwise in the builder).
The next screen, (1) will give you options, like changing out the avatars, or (2) renaming the teams. If you are not seeing these options in the game builder, then check under Teams to see if you have these options enabled.
Using Wireless Ring-In Devices? (3): If you are not using slammers, then select No . This is important, because the game plays dramatically differently based on your answer.

Please note: you can skip many of these options (like prompt for number of teams, team name, and allow character selection during game) by disabling them in the Team set up area in the builder.

Slammers/Ring-in Device: When using slammers, the game will allow the first to ring in, to be the first to answer. Each question is then answered by the first to ring in.
