The game pits one person against 100 others for a chance to win one million dollars (Australian currency).

[1] The Australian version of the show premiered on 29 January 2007 at 8:30 pm on the Nine Network and was recorded in Docklands Studios Melbourne.

Players add a specific amount to their bank for every member of the mob they eliminated on a particular question (see table, left).

If after any correct answer the entire 100-person mob is eliminated, the contestant wins the grand prize of $1,000,000.

As in the US version, the player must successfully answer three questions on the first prize level ($500) before he or she had the option of leaving the game, taking all money earned after this round.

If he or she continues, he must answer successfully two questions on the second level ($1,000) before the player may leave the game and take the money.

(Mob members who answer that final question incorrectly are eliminated, and win nothing; they do not contribute to the prize pool.)

However, speculation is that producer Michael Healy was asked a question at the Thursday night launch party, which was assessed as incorrect, despite the fact that he was right.

Producers were not willing to chance problems at their first taping, hence inconveniencing the players, many of whom had taken time off work to attend the show.

When taping did get under way on Sunday 21 January, a contestant in the first episode answered a question incorrectly: What is the unit of time equivalent to 60 seconds?

The second time around, the contestant gave the correct answer, robbing the Mob of a chance at just over $100,000.
