Telecommunications game apparatus 2 comprises control database 4 and subscriber terminals 6 remote from and connected to control database 4. The game includes elements of chance, choice, and strategy, with subscribers providing answers via terminals 6, the answers being a choice of two alternatives, e.g. yes and no. The game is played in rounds, the winners of each round being the group of subscribers who chose the least popular answer. The losers of each round (i.e. the larger group of subscribers who chose the most popular answer) are eliminated, and the overall winner of the game is the person who has been in the winning group in each round and is thus the last person remaining in the game. Control database 4 may include details of a prize to be awarded to the winner, and the prize may comprise a business assistance package which may include business advice and/or finance. Terminals 6 may be mobile telephones, with the game played using sms text messages. Terminals 6 may alternatively be personal or lap top computers (not shown), with the game played via the internet, or may be television game show terminals used for playing the game on television (not shown). |
