Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? is a classic trivia game that challenges players' knowledge across various subjects. It promotes problem-solving, critical thinking, and reading comprehension as players deduce answers and manage risk. The game also offers positive social interaction when played with friends, fostering communication and friendly competition.

While generally low-risk, the game's core mechanic of winning virtual money and the 'walk away' option can create a sense of loss aversion and variable rewards, which are mild forms of engagement manipulation. Competitive play with friends might also lead to minor social comparison.
