# Who Wants to be a Big Giftor
> Climb the diamond ladder, one question at a time
**Category:** Trivia · **Players:** single contestant + chat · **Status:** Beta
Who Wants to be a Big Giftor is in beta — details may change.
A Millionaire-style hot seat. One contestant — pulled from the `!play` queue and
picked by the streamer — climbs a 15-rung diamond ladder, answering one
multiple-choice question at a time. Every rung raises the prize; a wrong answer
drops back to the last safe rung. Lifelines, some classic and some gift-powered,
are there when a question stumps them.
## Gameplay
Chatters type `!play` to join the queue; the streamer picks who sits in the
hot seat.
Each question locks in one answer, then reveals. Right climbs a rung; wrong
drops to the last safe rung.
Keep going for a bigger prize, or walk away to bank the current rung before
risking it.
## How the ladder works
The prize grows with every rung, but so does the fall — until you pass a safe
rung, which locks in a floor you can't drop below.
* **Fifteen rungs.** The prize climbs from **100** diamonds to **1M** across the
ladder, one question per rung.
* **Two safe rungs.** Clear the **1k** and **32k** rungs and that prize is
locked — a later wrong answer drops you to the safe rung below, never to zero.
* **Walk away anytime.** Stop before answering to keep the rung you're on; a
wrong answer instead of walking risks the drop.
## Lifelines
Each classic lifeline can be used once: **50:50** (removes two wrong answers),
**Phone-a-Friend**, and **Ask the Audience** (a chat poll). On top of those,
gift-powered lifelines let the room intervene:
* **Skip question** — swap the current question for a fresh one at the same
rung.
* **Double down** — raise the stakes on the current question.
* **Insta-win** — award the rung outright.
## Configuration
| Option | Values | Default |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| **Answer timer** | display countdown | 30s |
| **Poll timer** | Ask-the-Audience countdown | 30s |
| **Gift lifelines** | gifts mapped to skip / double-down / insta-win | Off until set |
**Answer timer.** How long the contestant has to lock an answer.
**Poll timer.** How long an Ask-the-Audience chat poll stays open.
**Gift lifelines.** Optional gifts that trigger the skip, double-down, and
insta-win actions (see [Gifts](#gifts)).
## Layout
1. **Marquee** — game title and how-to hint.
2. **Contestant** — who's currently in the hot seat.
3. **Question board** — the prompt and the A / B / C / D options.
4. **Gift lifelines** — the gift-triggered helps and the classic lifelines.
5. **Prize ladder** — the 15 rungs, with the current rung and safe rungs marked.
6. **Queue** — chatters waiting via `!play`.
The game moves through **Lobby → Question → Locked → Revealed → Finished**, with
detours into the audience poll and phone-a-friend when those lifelines are used.
## Gifts
Who Wants to be a Big Giftor's gifts power **lifelines the room can trigger** for
the contestant:
* **Skip question** swaps the current question for another at the same rung.
* **Double down** raises the stakes on the current question.
* **Insta-win** awards the current rung outright.
They're off unless the host maps them, and they put the chat in the game — the
contestant answers, but the room can rescue or gamble on their behalf.
## Scoring
* The contestant's result is the rung they bank: climb to the top for the full
**1M**, walk away to keep the current rung, or fall to the last safe rung on a
wrong answer.
* Because there's one contestant per game, this is a hot-seat spotlight rather
than a chat-wide leaderboard — the payoff is how high the room can push their
champion.
* Wins are tracked per streamer and feed the same
[leaderboard tiers](/games/leaderboards) as the rest of the library.
