Once you have downloaded the game, open Winzip, and go to the following:

C:\Who Wants To Win Some Money
Then make sure that All Files is selected, then press Extract.
The game is now installed. Simply go to the folder where you extracted it, and run the .exe file.
If you need questions, download them below, unzip in a similar way and place the file in your Questions folder (which is in the folder you installed the game).

==============================================
3. ABOUT THE GAME
==============================================

Who Wants To Win Some Money is a unique game that allows you to create questions and play them in a quiz style game. Whats more, you can download other peoples questions and play those too. The object of the game is to answer 15 questions correctly in succession to win an imaginary £1000000. Remember this game is just for fun. Along the way, there are lifelines to help you if you get stuck on a question. There are 4 possible answers to each question.
You can walk away with the money you have won so far, or you can gamble your winnings on the next question. The good news is that once you reach the fifth question (£1000), the minimum you can walk away with is £1000. Even better is that if you get to the tenth question (£32000), the minimum you can walk away with is £32000.
Here are some of the features of the game with explanations of each feature:

Question Editor
------------------------------------------------------
Allows you to make up your own questions. These are stored in a data file for you to use whenever you want. You can add/edit/delete and view all your questions and change your security details too, giving you complete control.

Share Questions
------------------------------------------------------
If you make some questions, you can send the question file to friends for them to play and vice versa. Put your questions up for download on your own site, or send them to us.

Question Security
------------------------------------------------------
So that people know who has made a certain set of questions, you can add your name and a message to your players to the set. Nobody can edit your questions you have made, as you require a password to add questions.

Question Stats
------------------------------------------------------
See how many questions you have for each round, so you know what round needs more questions etc. You can have unlimited questions in a set.

Changing Background Music
------------------------------------------------------
During the game, as you progress, the music will change to suit the atmosphere. There is also a variety of sound effects. Of course if you don't like the music, you can turn it off.

Intelligent Lifelines
------------------------------------------------------
There are three lifelines to help you:
50% Remove (this takes away 2 wrong answers and leaves you with the right answer and the one remaining wrong answer)
Ask Your Friends (this will cast a vote of an imaginary 100 people, and they will decide what they think is the right answer. Most of the time they are right, but they can make mistakes)
Ring A Buddy (this will call an imaginary friend. They will try and give you the right answer, but they don't always know it)

Certificates
------------------------------------------------------
At any time, you can walk away with the money you currently have. A certificate will appear on screen proving your achievement and includes all important details to impress your friends. Of course, when you win £1000000, the certificate will come on again, stating that you are the supreme champion. These certificates can of course be printed out.

Game Lastivity
------------------------------------------------------
While there are other quizzes you can buy or download, most only offer a strict set of questions. The scope here however is incredible. If the game becomes a success worldwide, you'll never be short of questions to expand your general knowledge.
