What is 1 vs 100 Live? | 1 vs 100 Live is a two-hour live game show. Each episode features live gameplay between players, prize winning, multiple rounds, plus a host who comments on the action. |
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. Players sign up for a chance to be selected as The One or in The Mob when they first enter the game lobby, and a new One and Mob are selected at the beginning of each round. Players qualify to be The One or in The Mob based on score—Season Score, Weekly Score, or Previous Round Score. The One and The Mob compete for prizes such as Microsoft Points and Xbox LIVE Arcade games in 1 vs 100 Live. Players who are not selected as The One or The Mob play in The Crowd.

How is 1 vs 100 Live played? All players, regardless of role (Mob, One, Crowd), try to answer trivia questions correctly for score. The consequences of a wrong answer depend on the role the player occupies: The One, part of The Mob, or part of The Crowd. The One moves up a prize ladder with each correct answer—the more Mob members The One knocks out, the more Microsoft Points and other prizes he or she stands to earn. The One wins the game and the prizes if he or she eliminates all the members of The Mob. If time runs out, and The One has not eliminated all Mob members, it’s a draw. The One loses if he or she answers a single question incorrectly—and that means all the remaining Mob members win the game. If The One had reached a prize level, the matching Mob prize level (not an even split of The One’s winnings) is awarded to remaining Mob members. Members of The Mob who miss a question are sent to The Crowd, where they can still play the game, earn entries to the 1 vs 100 Sweepstakes , and play for the honor of being in the round’s Top 3 scorers. |
What if I’m late to the game? | A player can join an episode already in progress in 1 vs 100 Live, either by plugging in a controller and signing-on or through an Invitation from someone already in the game who is on their Friends list. If you join a round in progress, you will be seated in The Crowd, but will become eligible for The One and The Mob at the start of the next round. |
How many rounds make up 1 vs 100 Live? | A new Round will begin after a new One is chosen and The Mob is repopulated. The number of times this happens per episode is variable, but new rounds will only start after a given contestant’s (The One) succession of questions is concluded. |
What does the “Money or Mob” choice mean? At several points during a 1 vs 100 Live round, The One will be given the choice of “The Money or The Mob”. If The One chooses the money, he or she takes the accumulated winnings and the round is over. If The One chooses the Mob, the round continues.

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 and hold 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 the most popular answer among The Mob.
- Trust the Crowd : The One’s answer becomes the most popular answer among The Crowd.
- Trust the Top 10 : The One’s answer becomes the most popular answer among the round’s Top 10 players.
When The One successfully uses a Help, the full question’s value—minus speed bonus—is applied to The One’s score.

How do I get to be The One? Can I be The One more than once? You must have an adult Xbox LIVE account and select “Public” as your 1 vs 100 Privacy setting. This makes you eligible to be The One but it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be selected. No player will be allowed to step into the role of The One more than once per season. |
What does the symbol mean? 
This is the symbol for Microsoft Points. Microsoft Points will be at stake in 1 vs 100 Live shows. |
I was in The Mob, but I got a question wrong. Can I keep playing? | Yes! Members of The Mob who miss a question are sent to The Crowd, where they can still play the game. Members of The Crowd play for entries to the 1 vs 100 Sweepstakes and for the honor of being in the round’s Top 3 scorers. |
