Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: 3rd Edition Answer Guide

Version 1.5 – Final. Questions retrieved and sorted by Bo Bayles. Concept, Page layout, and formatting by Jason Dvorak.

The quiz show series took the world by storm in its original time frame, creating some incredible clips and even a few memes along the way. Here on the PlayStation, players were treated to the 2nd and 3rd editions of the game series. What’s interesting about doing this guide is just how quickly the number of questions per level drops. There’s only enough content here for maybe a single season’s worth of shows. Compared to other games like Jeopardy and Weakest Link, it’s clear Sony didn’t feel like people would play it enough to warrant a deeper well.

How The Guide Works

The tabs are ordered via difficulty tiers. Questions require you to put all 4 answers in order, which we’ve done here. Then the Levels are the difficulty tiers based on game data folders. All you need to do is search for the question, and you’ll find your answer. For easier reading, we’ve removed all incorrect answers.

Any typos or syntax errors from the game have been left in, just in case that’s what people search for.

What’s Left to Do?

Outside of any formatting issues, nothing! This should be the complete suite of questions and answers.
