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.
