FAQs - 1 vs 100 Extended Play

 

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).

Playing Extended Play games increases your Season Score and Weekly Score, factors in selection as The One or The Mob in 1 vs 100 Live games.

 

What if I'm late to a 1 vs 100 Extended Play episode?

As in 1 vs 100 Live, players can join a game already in progress, 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.

 

Can I play 1 vs 100 Extended Play while 1 vs 100 Live is on air?

Extended Play episodes are not available while 1 vs 100 Live episodes are in progress.

 

What does the shield icon in my player widget mean?

This means you have earned a "Safety".

 

What's a "Safety" and what do I do with one?

In Extended Play, if a player correctly answers three questions in a row, he or she is awarded a Safety, represented by a shield in the player widget. Players can use a Safety rather than answer a question without losing their built-up Streak bonus (which can grow to be quite beneficial). A Safety scores the same as answering the question correctly—minus speed bonus. You can use a Safety after you select an answer if you second-guess yourself (and you’re quick enough)!

A player can carry a maximum of three Safeties at any time. Safeties are worthless if left unused, and they will expire at the end of each round.
