Xbox hosted its first trivia event of the new all-digital Xbox FanFest last night, and while it unfortunately suffered some technical difficulties, it also featured a notable appearance from Xbox boss Phil Spencer.
Commenting on the issues, which prevented the trivia from functioning as intended, Spencer admitted that perhaps the return of "our own trivia game from our past" would be a good idea in the future.
"Obviously [the Xbox FanFest trivia] didn't all turn out the way we wanted, but I just want to say when our teams are trying to do new things that we've never done before, I want to be 100% behind those things. Sometimes they'll turn out amazing, sometimes they'll be good learning experiences..."
"We'll learn... maybe we should even be building our own trivia game, like from our past, and allow people to play a trivia game more often. Maybe that could happen."
While he didn't mention it directly, it sounds very much like Spencer was referring to the beloved MMO game show 1 Vs. 100, which adopted a live trivia format on Xbox 360 back in 2009 and 2010.
His remark caused somewhat of a shocked reaction from the hosts of the trivia, with one of them exclaiming that he can "read the headlines after that last statement of what everyone's going to be speculating about."

I loved that game. I even managed to win a free Xbox Live Arcade game during one show. Bring it back!
When he said that. The hosts started looking around I thought they were going to pull something out and roll a trailer
I never played this game because I was on PS3 at that time so I am not against a return from this game 😁
FINALLY!!!
I loved 1 vs 100! It was such a great idea & fun experience. I have been shouting from the rooftops for years to do something like that again.
I actually got in the 100 once. Lol.
For sure, 1 vs 100 was one of the best 360 games and it was very disappointing when season 2 ended with no season 3 coming.
Would love this. I think they need more Casual stuff on Game Pass. People will dip in for stuff like Quiz games, party games etc as GAAS if they don’t have to shell out for the full games.
What happened to the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game that was coming out?
@roe It's scheduled for Thursday next week (in Europe).
110% yes. My wife and I adored this game back in the day.
Never won anything, but always had fun.
I was always surprised that nothing was created to fill the void and that this idea was never expanded upon.
1v100 was one my fav gaming experiences on 360. Its a shame we never had a Season 3. I even managed to be in the Mob of 100 once and got a ton of Microsoft points and two free games.
Would have been awesome if this had been rereleased during lockdown.
Fingers crossed we see something released like this soon.
