Hints

Try to use lifelines in this order: Audience Poll, Phone a Friend, 50/50. People who use 50/50 on a question they have no clue about usually end up burning a second lifeline on the same question, which is worthless. Therefore, save the least useful for last.

The Phone a Friend and Audience Poll lifelines can be wrong, but usually aren't. Trust them when in doubt.

Want to really simulate the experience? Here's an idea.
Actually phone a real friend when you want to use that lifeline! Sure, they might think you're nuts, but it'll add some oomph to your game.

Easy questions

Enter Regis Philbin as a name. The name entry will change to "Fibber" to confirm correct code entry.

Harder questions

Enter John Carpenter as a name.

Make Regis mad

Start a multi-player game and intentionally get incorrect answers. Keep doing this until Regis says that he gives up. The game will then quit.

Extra time

Press L when you need more time to think. This will show your lifelines. After Regis says "You don't want to use a lifeline?" and the lifeline screen disappears, it will be at the same time as it was before you pressed L.
Keep repeating this until you know the answer.

Alternately, when Regis asks the question press [Esc] to stop the timer.

Default names

Do not enter a name when prompted to enter one. Let Regis talk, and eventually he will give you a name such as "Einstein", "Kathy Lee", and "Cody.
