Like fellow NBC/Endemol game Deal or No Deal, 1 vs. 100 has an interactive game. The first game, called You vs. 100, gives out a question with three possible answers. Those who answer the question correctly are eligible for a $10,000 prize in each time zone, with Eastern and Central counting as one zone. The area affected for this game (Alaska, HawaiiĘ», Guam, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico) are the same in the Deal Lucky Case Game, as well as areas that pre-empt (and/or tape delay) the program. In most episodes, only the first mob is used, except the February 16 episode where The Most Hated Mob in America was used.
The Christmas 2006 episode was to have featured a $25,000 prize for each time zone, but was postponed until January 19 due to the overrun from the NFL game that night (see Christmas episode, above).
When the show returned in May 2007, the interactive game was changed to its second format, Mob Money. This game was played the same as Deal or No Deal's Lucky Case game, except with five mob members to choose from and a prize of $5,000. As of January 2008, Mob Money consists of a question put to the mob, with three choices as to how many people answered incorrectly. The prize has also doubled back to $10,000.
In Canada, E!'s airings did not feature the interactive segments, as Canadian viewers were ineligible to participate. Additionally, when repeats aired on CNBC or GSN, these segments are not rebroadcast.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or games:
“...I think the Americans are the only people who have good beds. I consider the American bedroom unparalleled for freshness, comfort, and cleanliness. It is worth going all over Europe in order to come home to one’s own bed.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
