Microsoft has confirmed its intention to discontinue further runs of the interactive Xbox LIVE trivia-based game show, 1 VS 100.

Based on the broadcast TV show of the same name, 1 VS 100 successfully completed two online ‘seasons’ on Xbox LIVE, and challenged participants to test their general trivia knowledge either in a ‘Mob’ of 100 cooperating users, or as a single user, the ‘One.’

It was then up to each group (the ‘Mob’ and the ‘One’) to prove their mastery of trivia by correctly answering a series of questions.

According to Microsoft, a third season of 1 VS 100 is not on the cards, although the lessons learned during its running will be applied to “future programming”:

“When we started on this journey, we knew we were creating an entirely new genre of entertainment that would be a continually evolving concept,” said Dave McCarthy, General Manager of Microsoft Game Studios. “We’re very proud of the ‘1 vs 100’ team and their accomplishments, and are excited to apply what we’ve learned to future programming.”

The 1 VS 100 team is now “focusing their skills and applying the technology used to develop ‘1 vs 100’ to new projects that will be unveiled in the future.”
