Introduction
Who Wants to be A Millionaire is an arcade title taken from the popular TV Series. The game has a simple concept, there are 15 questions each with 4 possible answers, answer 15 questions correctly to win a million. First you have to play a Fastest Finger Round (selecting the 4 answers in the right order). You have 3 lifelines for help if you get stuck on a question, 50:50 (eliminates 2 incorrect answers), Ask the audience (shows the most popular answer for that question), Phone a friend (shows you the answer the character called would have selected).

The games achievements are simple enough and shouldn't cause any difficulty except for Lightning Reactions.... If you follow the guide step by step you should have all achievements in around 1 hour. If you get stuck on any question bring up a search engine such as Google and search for the answer, there is no time limit on questions (except for the faster finger round) making this a very easy way to find answers for questions you don't know.

1st Playthrough
First go to the left hand side of your screen and press on any of the 3 pictures (Phone, 50:50, 3 People), this will get you That's what they are there for achievement for using a lifeline. Then simply select an answer you know is wrong to get you the Fall at the first post... achievement for answering the first question wrong.

2nd Playthrough
Start up another game and this time walk away on the first question. To walk away go to the top left corner (the green diamond which changes to a running man when highlighted). This will give you the It's easy when you know... achievement for walking away with nothing.

3rd Playthrough
On your third playthrough you will now have to answer the questions correctly without using any lifelines (for difficult questions use a search engine like Google). Answering the first one will give you the Breaking the Ice achievement for answering the first question correctly. Keep answering the questions correctly without using the lifelines available, once you have answered question 5 you get the Not going home empty handed! achievement for reaching 1,000. Keep playing through (not using lifelines) till you reach the final question (question 15) for 1,000,000. Just getting the question will get you the The million dollar question! achievement for getting to the million dollar question. Now all you have to do is answer it correctly without using a lifeline to get the You're a Millionaire!! achievement for winning 1,000,000 and the All too EASY!! achievement for winning 1,000,000 with all three lifeline remaining.

4th Playthrough
On this playthrough you can use all the lifelines you want to answer questions. You want to get to the final question (15) for the 1,000,000 and answer it incorrectly. This will give you the ...and yet so far! achievement for answering the 1,000,000 question wrong.

5th Playthrough
Now its time to walk away from some questions. Carry on as before answering questions up to the final one (15) for the 1,000,000. When you are on this question you have to just simply choose Walk Away (top left corner, the green diamond which changes to a running man when highlighted). Doing this will give you the So Close! achievement for walking away at 500,000.

6th Playthrough
The final run through you want to answer questions till the 32,000 mark (10). When you are on this question you have to just simply choose Walk Away (top left corner, the green diamond which changes to a running man when highlighted). Doing this will give you the You're a brave contestant! achievement for walking away between 32,000 and 250,000.

Cleanup
On your playthroughs you might have been lucky enough to get the Lightning Reactions... achievement for winning the Fastest Finder round in under 4 seconds. If you weren't lucky enough to get it just keep trying the first round over and over again until you do. If you are having troubles getting this, try selecting a combination (e.g A, C, D, B) every time and hope that for one of them it is correct order.

Conclusion
Overall a very simple 200 points with the exception of the Lightning Reactions... achievement. It shouldn't take you too long to gain the full 200.
