When does the final stage take place ? How will the prizes be handed over?

The public final phase is organized and run approx. 4 weeks after the determination of the 120 finalists. The transfer of the house (1st prize) will be immediately processed and controlled by a notary whose name cannot be stated at this time due to German notary´s law. All further prizes – as far as this is possible – will be handed over to the winners at the location of the event due to technical / organizational reasons. Prizes will be held ready for pick up, or will be sent to the winner after agreement (transport charges will be invoiced). If a shipment is not possible or should cause excessive charges, an adequate credit or similar will be handed over.

Is the winning game legal in Germany?

Yes- the game was designed as a game of skills, not requiring permission. Exclusively, the participants determine with their skills the final results of the game. Determination of the winner of the 120 finalists is carried out in a final lap at an offline assembly. The game was developed and designed by my lawyer, who already created an expert assessment for Bavarian Authorities.

The participants have to answer questions out of several fields of general education. Several answers are offered of which only one is correct (Multiple Choice as known from popular TV-quiz shows). The questions become more difficult per sequence and the answering time for each question is reduced from 60 to 30 seconds. After the ”warm up” lap, the questions will be randomly distributed and the determination of the play time, which might not be exceeded, guarantee that the skills of the participants, their knowledge (general education), their perceptive faculty, and reaction time are placed in the foreground, which thereafter decides the game result.

What happens, if less or more than 48,000 participant register?

In total only 48,000 reservations with free access to the game are accepted. After the 48,000 reservation payments have been booked, the bank account is closed and further reservations will be refused. In any case, the date of receipt of payment and the sequence make the decision. A period of 90 days has been enabled in which reservations for the game can be made. If the number of 48,000 reservations is not reached within this schedule, the deadline is prolonged for an additional time.

In summary, the final offline phase at a public assembly to determine a winner will be then thereafter organized and run within approx. 4 weeks. If the 48,000 reservations with free access are booked earlier, the public final phase will accordingly take place earlier.
