Netflix Launches “Best Guess Live” Mobile Game with $1 Million Prize Pool
Netflix is set to create buzz around its latest mobile game, “Best Guess Live,” by offering a whopping $1 million in prizes over the next week. The daily jackpot, typically set at $15,000, will see a significant increase to $50,000 on Monday and will continue to rise throughout the week. The grand finale on Friday, Dec. 26, will feature a staggering $500,000 jackpot up for grabs.
The new mobile game show premiered on Dec. 8 and airs weeknights at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on a dedicated Netflix “Best Guess Live” app. Hosting duties are shared between Howie Mandel (“America’s Got Talent”) and Hunter March (“Sugar Rush”).
Participants will be presented with two puzzles each weekday and tasked with guessing the identity of a mystery item. Whether it’s a person, place, or thing, players will need to decipher the clues provided in the form of riddles. The first individuals to correctly guess the item will split the prize pot, but each player is only allowed one guess per puzzle.
The live mobile game is broadcasted from Apploff Entertainment’s headquarters in Los Angeles, with Jeff Apploff (“Beat Shazam,” “Don’t Forget the Lyrics”) serving as executive producer alongside Noah Bonnett.
For the holiday week starting Monday, Dec. 22, and ending on Friday, Dec. 26, the prize pool will reach a total of $1 million. Here’s the breakdown of the festive cash prizes:
Mon, Dec. 22 – $50,000
Tue, Dec. 23 – $100,000
Wed, Dec. 24 – $150,000
Thu, Dec. 25 – $200,000
Fri, Dec. 26 – $500,000
