Viewers interaction
One of the main selling points for this show is the at-home interaction aspect. Instead of an online play along game similar to Million Pound Drop or Red or Black?, Revolution will be using a mobile app for people at home to play along for the chance to win money. The app is expected to be on most popular platforms and will cost "a maximum of £1″ each week.
