The tenth season of the syndicated U.S. version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? premiered on September 5, 2011 and ended on May 25, 2012. It is the second season of the U.S. shuffle format.
In the shuffle format, the timer from the 2008-2010 U.S. Clock Format was removed. Gameplay was split into two rounds. In the first round, the contestant would face ten questions with random shuffled difficulty and random unknown values ranging from $100 to $25,000; answering these questions correctly would reveal the amount behind it and add such amount to the contestant's "bank". In the second round, the contestant would face four increasingly difficult questions; answering these questions correctly would increase the contestant's "bank" value up to $100,000, $250,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000, in that order.
Like the original format, the contestant can end the game by walking away from a question without answering it. Answering a question incorrectly would still end a contestant's game. In the first round, the contestant would leave with only half of the "bank" value upon walking away from a question; in this round, the contestant would leave with $1,000 upon answering a question incorrectly. In the second round, the contestant would leave with the entire "bank" value upon walking away from a question, unlike the first round; in this round, the contestant would leave with $25,000 upon answering a question incorrectly.
Lifelines[]
In addition to the "Ask the Audience", the contestant had two "Jump the Question" lifelines - they allow the player to "jump" the question without answering it. However, the contestant will not receive money for this question. If the player retains both "jumps" to the second round, he/she will start immediately with the $500,000 (13th) question.
- Ask the Audience
