seventh season, contestants are asked three questions, and the person who answers correctly
in the shortest time sits on the hot seat.
Main gameplay
Once the participant is selected, they join the host in a "hot seat" and begin answering a series
of multiple-choice questions in the process of winning the kbc lottery. Along the way,
contestants are free to leave the game with prizes, but if they have the wrong question unless
they answer the important question that guarantees some prizes (highlighted in yellow)
correctly.
Like their companions, to help them in the way, contestants have a set of lifelines that they
can use. The available lifelines depend on the format they use.
Audience Poll (Ask Audience): Audiences present in the studio connected to the keyboard
with what they think is the correct answer to the question. The result of the vote will be
shown to the contestants.
50:50: The computer removes two wrong answers from the game, leaving the player with
one correct answer and one wrong answer.
Phone a Friend: Participants can call a pre-selected friend or family member to answer a
question. Once connected, participants and contestants can talk to each other in 30 seconds
(45 seconds in Season 7). In 2017, this lifeline became a video call instead of a voice call. In
Season 10, this lifeline was removed, and an "Ask Expert" lifeline was adopted.
Expert Advice: In Season 4, the "Expert Advice" lifeline was added to the set of available
lifelines. Producers assist contestants by inviting experts in specific general knowledge to
study.
