The $100,000 Pyramid social game on Facebook plays just like the hit TV game show. In the first round, players compete in three categories where they see clues to help them guess the correct category terms. Players can earn bonus game cash when they complete a "BIG 6" by getting all 6 clues correct in one category. If they score enough points in the first round, players make it to the Winners Circle where they encounter their last challenge -- get all three categories right to win $25,000 in game cash. Players can then invite their friends to join the fun when they "Pass the Pyramid" for the chance to win $100,000 in game cash. Leader boards fuel even more social fun with The $100,000 Pyramid on Facebook.

iWin will launch The $100,000 Pyramid social game on Facebook later this summer.
