One wrong answer ends it, survive the gauntlet as the crowd thins around you, and bank a spare life by predicting which answer the crowd gets wrong.
Answer a streak of multiple-choice questions where a single miss ends your run. The crowd shrinks faster on harder questions. Before answering, you can 'Call the Crowd' and pick the option you think most players get wrong, nail it and you bank an extra life to absorb a future mistake.
Buzz Storm is a high-stakes survival trivia game with a crowd-prediction twist for extra lives.
A streak that a single miss ends, with a crowd that shrinks on harder questions, is the sudden-death quiz, and "Call the Crowd" is the audience lifeline that Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? made standard.
Shrinking the crowd as difficulty rises is the original refinement.
That models the lifeline honestly. An audience is reliable on common knowledge and close to useless on specialist questions — the wisdom of the crowd needs the crowd to have independent information — so a thinning crowd is exactly the right way to represent diminishing help.
