1 vs 100 Beta Begins Monday
by Nick Breckon, May 29, 2009 12:26pm PDTThe beta for Microsoft's Xbox Live game show MMO "1 vs 100" will begin Monday, June 1, the company announced today.
The large-scale game will see one player competing against a mob of 100 others in a series of trivia challenges for a Microsoft Point prize. The live game is hosted by Chris Cashman, with "Extended Play" sessions open for competition when the show is not airing.
1 vs 100 offers contestants an increasingly high payout as the trivia progresses. The longer the single player answers questions correctly, the more the prize increases, with the "mob" of 100 thinning as they answer incorrectly. The single player can choose to take the prize at any time; if the "one" answers a question incorrectly, the mob splits the purse. The max payout stands at 10,000 Microsoft Points ($125).
The Xbox Live crowd can also compete, with the top three audience members taking home prizes at the end of each show. The top crowd members also raise their chances of being selected to play as a mob member, or as the one.

I have no idea how you can be part of the live show, but I was never able to be in it anytime.
When I played the non-live version, around 10 000 players were playing, which is a lot considering its Canada only.
That meant only 101 of the 10 000 players can be part of the real show. So your chances are thin. As far as the non-live show went; lot's of contestants would answer correctly 100% of the answers. But of those alot would not even have the top score because they didn't answer fast enough or they skipped a few questions with their "skip" power.
That means that your chances of being part of the top players is even thinner.
And I would never imagine so many power players would be present for casual trivia games

Still has more than a few bugs to squash, but it's still a fun game.
