Helps
Each contestant gets 3 "helps" which can be used during game play to narrow down the multiple choice answers.
- Poll the Mob: Contestants pick one of the three answers and the number of mob players who chose that answer is shown. Players can then use this to gauge which answers are the most and least popular.
- Ask the Mob: One mob member who answered correctly and one who answered incorrectly are chosen. Each mob member then explains his/her reasons for picking that answer.
- Trust the Mob: Contestants are forced to choose the answer chosen by the largest number of mob members.
