1.1 (January 10, 2006)
Vinco is a game in which you can win up to 1,000,000 (virtual) dollars by answering a series of 15 questions of increasing difficulty. The first five questions are very easy (to the point of laughter), but the last questions are extremely difficult.
Every question is multiple choice question with four possible answers. There are no tricks (like "none of the above"), just four straight-up choices, one of which is the correct answer.
Since you are not likely to know all 15 answers, you have three hint systems to help you along the way. You can have the computer randomly eliminate two wrong answers, give you a suggestion, or "poll the audience" for their guesses. The last two hints get increasingly inaccurate the further along in the game you are. If you have used all three hints, you may leave with your current (virtual) money.
Each correct answer gets you more (virtual) money, as follows:
Once you have reached the one million mark, you have won and may add your name to the "previous winners" screen! However, if you answer any question incorrectly, you drop back down to the previous level with an asterisk next to it (or to $0 if you haven't reached $1,000).
Please note that you are not actually winning anything but bragging rights by playing this game.
