Welcome to Who Wants to be a Millionaire:
Black History Month Edition
Rules of the game:
The game is played like the regular game show. You
will see a question and have 4 answers to chose from. Click on
the answer you think is correct. You will either proceed to the
next level or be brought back to the beginning.
One slight change to the game is that there are no
lifelines. You need to rely on your knowledge only of the
lessons we’ve had on African-American history.
If you incorrectly answer a question, click on the
“Sorry” and return back to the beginning to try again.
