Million Dollar Password is a board game released in 2008 for 3–4 players and ages 12 and up.
Password is brought into the 21st Century, both on television and as a home game, by being composed of nothing but Lightning Rounds. Mm-hm. Two teams of two players play four rounds. Each round consists of each team getting 30 seconds (measured by an electronic timer that plays the think music from the series) to score as many of the five passwords as possible. The team that scores the most points then plays a bonus round where the object is to get five words out of a specific number within the time limit. This part has six tiers, each worth a different amount of money, with Tier 1 having ten words and Tier 6 having just five. Winning all six awards $1,000,000. There is a variation for three players, with one player giving the clues for the other two. Games with five or more players can be done as a tournament.
Million Dollar Password supports 3–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Million Dollar Password for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Million Dollar Password has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
