The Million Dollar Dilemma can lead to phone calls from listeners and generate a conversation that helps with character definition. It’s an updated version of Would You Rather, with an interesting twist of adding big money into the question.
Playing Million Dollar Dilemma
This game works great for multi-cast shows, as you could imagine. But it can also be an interactive game for solo shows that use the audience as cohosts.
There are several ways to play it. Here’s how Roula & Ryan do it on KRBE/Houston:
- Get two contestants for the game and play three rounds (or five if there’s time). Three works best because it allows time to talk while the cast member is making a decision (as described below).
- Each round of the game includes one show member answering one question.
- The caller picks a cast member The host reads the Million Dollar Dilemma question. The caller then decides whether the cast member would take or leave one million dollars. If they match the correct answer, they get a point. The contestant who wins the best-of-3 or best-of-5 match.
