Everyone else remains in "The Crowd". Selection is based on weekly, round, and season (lifetime) score. The game's rules are nearly identical to the game show's: a question is posed, and both The One and The Mob must select an answer from three choices. If The One gets the question wrong, the game is over and the prize money is split up amongst The Mob. If The One gets the answer right, members of The Mob who got the question wrong are eliminated. The payout goes up for every tenth member of The Mob eliminated. The One can opt to quit with their winnings at various intervals, or press their luck and continue on. The Live version adds the notion of "The Crowd", which allows hundreds of thousands of players to compete alongside The Mob and The One. The top three members of The Crowd win an [[Xbox Live Arcade|Xbox Live Arcade game]].

The helps are: * Trust the Mob - The One's answer becomes whatever the majority of The Mob answered. * Trust the Crowd - The One's answer becomes whatever the majority of The Crowd answered. * Trust the Top 10 - The One's answer becomes whatever a majority of the 10 top scoring players in the current round answered from the crowd or mob. (In the first season, this was known as "Trust the Brain" which took the answer from the top performing player) The better a member of The Crowd does, the better chance they have of being selected to be a part of The Mob or The One. Selection is based upon statistics for speed, accuracy, and the number of questions answered for that week. A player can only be chosen as The One once per season and as a member of The Mob once per Primetime episode.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://forums.xbox.com/27222886/ShowPost.aspx|title=How the One and Mob are Selected|quote=Role determination is based on weekly stats for speed, accuracy, and the number of questions answered.

[[Jen Taylor]] in the US and Canada and [[Olivia Lee]] in the UK and Ireland (both pre-recorded) present the questions and count down The Mob as they are eliminated. Statistic breaks occur every few questions when the live host provides [[color commentary]] about The One and their performance. Guests are interviewed on the show and have included [[Larry Hryb|Major Nelson]], [[Taking Back Sunday]], [[Cliff Bleszinski]] and [[Felicia Day]]. Live telephone calls are placed to participants and broadcast during the breaks as are 30-second [[advertisement]]s from sponsors.<ref name=latimes/> ===Extended Play sessions=== The Extended Play version eliminates The One and the crowd and simply has all players compete as a member of The Mob of limitless size. It is typically a 30 minute show with 37 total questions. While there are no prizes during Extended Play, a player's participation contributes to the chance that they will be selected to join The Mob, or be The One during the next Live episode. Players are able to submit questions to be considered for inclusion in the Extended Play mode of the game via a web interface.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/live/1vs100/submitaquestion.htm|title=Xbox.com - 1 vs 100 - Submit a Question}}</ref>
