Welcome to "Millionaire", 百萬富翁, (Baak Maan Fu Yung) from Hong Kong!
Some differences:
This might be a celebrity special as the host presented a check for $46K (the total prize awarded that day).
I'm not familiar with Chinese, so I can't answer if the players split the bank or if they both get the value of the question.
Welcome to "Millionaire", 百萬富翁, (Baak Maan Fu Yung) from Hong Kong!
Some differences:
- Not sure why but many countries seem to deviate from the soundtrack in tiny ways. Like "Explain The Rules" is used as the credits and the commercial ditty.
- They use Fastest Finger to choose the two contestants but they play the FFF solo. The top two players each time in order of finish come to the hot seat. (They use only one FFF session and base the results from there.) Only 5 players play but they have 10 chairs? This is either for the special premier week... or they're using someone else's studio. The last player will be unpaired and play solo.
- Money treet seems to match the US Money tree but they stretched it out a bit to be 15 Questions. (I think the US has a lock on the 14 question format.)
- Music wise they seem to be using the UK Rave format, but the questions aren't timed.
- Also for Host Screen enthusiasts (like myself), they use the KBC Host Screen but with no space for translations. (So it looks more like the second generation of the screen. With the answers/question on the top of the screen and the question notes, game status, and money tree on the bottom.
- Rather than the full studio audience in the arena, they seem to use only two-thirds like Australia's Hot Seat does.
- Font wise, they seem to use a basic sans serif font for everything.
- Does every other question have dial tones?! (Like the music played while the phone is ringing...)
- PAF uses the rotating ion timer instead of the "traditional" ticking 30 clock.
