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, Hawaiiʻ, 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 suppose that it is not so easy to go home and it takes a bit of time to make a son out of a stranger.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
