Deal or No Deal Family Challenge Interactive DVD

2007-11-12T13:11:00.000Z

The latest Deal or No Deal Interactive DVD game is set for release on 19th November, and if last years DVD game is anything to go by, this is going to be another massive hit.

Below is an extract from the latest press release regarding the DVD.

After revolutionising the interactive DVD genre with its debut release last year and setting new records as the highest-selling DVD game of all time, Deal or No Deal returns with the Family Challenge, a new and improved game for players to test their wits against The Banker. Featuring a range of innovative additions to the format, fans of Endemol’s award-winning game show on Channel 4 can now personalise their game and take on their family and friends!

Introducing brand new game play, in a first of its kind feature the Deal or No Deal Family Challenge interactive DVD game allows players to join forces with family and friends to beat The Banker. With options to play solo, take the Family Challenge or test their nerves against The Banker, players will ride a roller coaster of emotions to prove they can make the right deal - at the right time.

Released by 4DVD on 19th November and featuring exclusive unseen studio footage, Deal or No Deal host Noel Edmonds guides players through each stage of the game. Those playing at home can now chose their own box, ask advice from favourite contestants, ask The Banker a question or for an insightful poem, as well as trying out the brand new lucky dip feature. With 22 identical boxes and a quarter of a million pounds at stake – it’s a walk of wealth towards Deal or No Deal in the brand new Family Challenge.

In 2006, the first edition of the Deal or No Deal DVD Game revolutionised the interactive DVD genre, quickly becoming the fastest-selling interactive DVD ever, selling over 88,000 copies in its first week alone. Still a firm favourite, the DVD game has now sold more than a phenomenal 1 million copies, making it the UK’s best-selling interactive DVD ever!

With game play identical to the TV show, each sealed box contains an amount ranging from 1p to £250,000. It’s a mystery how much money is in any of these boxes, but somehow players must try to find the smaller amounts of money in the boxes, keeping the larger amounts in play as long as possible. Both Noel and the other contestants urge players on to beat The Banker – but will they hold their nerves as boxes are selected for elimination one by one?

After each round, The Banker offers up cash to buy back a box. Along the way fellow contestants are at hand to offer advice and support, all at the click of a button. The challenge is on to see if players are brave enough to hold on to find if the jackpot’s in their box – or will they play safe, making a deal with The Banker to leave the game?

As a cult TV phenomenon Deal or No Deal has proven a major hit on Channel 4, achieving audiences of up to 4.5 million viewers and recently celebrating its 500th show on 29th June 2007. Deal or No Deal’s white-knuckle success has also secured over 60 deals with broadcasters worldwide, bringing the game into homes in over 100 territories.

Rob's Deal or No Deal Game Report

2007-10-12T18:47:00.000+01:00

Noel asks how we feel about Steve's game yesterday, and says we are disappointed at the moment that Steve said he's got me, with that offer of £26,000... Noel wanders over to the wings to see if anyone has got that special something that the banker can't get them with!!!

It’s Rob’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and he does so with box 16. Rob is a postman, and Noel hopes that the banker has got rid of all his postie jokes with the last postman that was on the show... Noel talks about the record number of 1ps that he has had whilst on the wings, and hopes he hasn't brought it along today!! Rob shows us some pics of his son, and also has a cast of his feet to help remind him to keep his feet on the ground... Noel talks about the record that box 16 has of bringing big money to the pound table, can it do it again today?

That is an astonishing start says Noel... The banker says that's what he calls an opening round, and he has been willing that to happen for a while...

Round 2

6 - £100,000
Rob chooses Ben with box 4 next, but Noel calls a break first...

There is no point in saying the 50p makes it look better says Noel, because it doesn't! The banker says that he has seen people turn down some big sums of money, but Rob will be very brave if he turns down this offer.... He offers £8,000… The banker calls back and says he forgot the unlucky part, which is a dead magpie!!! Rob goes to Ed for some stats, and he tells Rob that he has a 37% chance of taking out the big one now... Rob says NO DEAL

Noel does a BIG build up on the next box (why does this always seem to bring bad luck!!!)

It’s Jean’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and she has box 18. Noel says it's the game we have all been looking forward to.

Jean says she is very nervous at the moment, and Noel says she doesn't need to be as she is the banker's favourite... Jean tells us she used to work for BT, and Noel says that the phone must be familiar with her!

That's a disappointment says Jean, and Noel says that he thought it was in Jean's box as it hasn't appeared on the pound table for so long now... Noel tells the banker that Jean started her time on the wings with the £100,000, and wouldn't it be great if she left with £100,000... The banker is a little worried about that, and offers £13,013… Noel says that most players would have had lower offers there, but Jean says he must be remembering their weekend in Weston-Super-Mare!!!

Phyllis' Deal or No Deal Game Report

2007-10-09T18:45:00.000+01:00

A lively Noel is revved up today, as he tries to boost the atmosphere in the studio after the recent low wins. He wanders along the wings, and asks who they think will be playing today.

It’s a very reluctant Phyllis today, and she has box 8. Phyllis says she is shocked she is playing today, as she doesn't want to leave... She shows Noel a picture of herself on her wedding day, and gets a little emotional as she explains that her husband is no longer with us. Phyllis has her friend in the audience for support today, and her friend tells us that Phyllis is a good fighter so will put up a good battle with the banker...

Round 1
3 - 10p
1 - £100
20 - £100,000
4 - £500
22 - £250

4 blues and a red says Noel, just a shame it was that red... The banker says he has been looking forward to Phyllis' game, and if he weren’t sworn to Jean he would be all over her like a rash!!! He then offers £9,000… Noel leaps into the audience for their reactions, and starts with lots of banter with an Irish lady called Bridget, who tells Phyllis to play on and go for it … Phyllis says NO DEAL

Round 2
2 - £10,000
14 - 50p
10 - £75,000

We didn't want to see that one says Noel... The banker now has a new light in his life, it's Bridget the lady that Noel spoke to before!! The banker wants to take her out for dinner tonight, and she tries desperately to get rid of Noel!! The Banker offers £13,000… In a terrible Irish accent, Noel says that is a brilliant offer... Phyllis wonders what she can do with that amount of money, and thinks of a swimming pool, but would also need a bigger house to put it in… Phyllis says NO DEAL

Round 3
11 - £3,000
21 - £35,000 No, No, No says Noel
6 - £15,000

We didn't want that round says Noel... The Banker offers £7,500… Phyllis says it's still a good offer considering the board and what just happened. Phyllis says NO DEAL

9 - £750 Newbie Charley
5 - £1,000

Phyllis says she would have liked to have kept that one... Noel goes back to Bridget in the audience to see what she thinks the offer will be, and she replies £10,000... Noel then asks her if she has applied to appear on the show, and she says yes, which frightens Noel!!! The Banker offers £10,000… Noel says that Bridget has been uncovered as another agent of the bankers!!! Phyllis gets hugs off her friend and Noel as she starts to get emotional... Phyllis runs through the outcomes if she takes out the big one now, and Noel chips in that if she avoids the big one in the next round then her offer will soar... Phyllis says DEAL

Round 5 - Proveout round
18 - £5 Noel tells everyone NOT to clap and follow the plot!!
12 - £50
An all blue round is looming says Noel....

Round 6 - Proveout round
7 - £1
16 - £5,000
13 - £10

It’s time for the Banker with 1p and £50.000 remaining… Phyllis thinks she has the 1p, and the £50,000 is in box 17 with Steve... Noel is quite shocked at what the banker tells him he would have offered now!!!!

The banker says he would have offered £10,000 here, and then offers Phyllis the chance to give back the £10,000 she already dealt and then take whatever is in her box!!! Phyllis is told by lots of the contestants to stick with what she has already won as she is certain that her box contains the 1p… Noel then asks if she would have swapped as well, although the banker hasn't offered that yet!! The banker calls back and then says he will offer the swap as well...

Phyllis says she was happy to deal at £10,000, and she is still happy with that...

Noel asks if Phyllis would have swapped if she played on, and Phyllis says she would have, so Noel does the hypothetical SWAP!!!

Noel opens Phyllis' new box 17 and reveals £50,000
Box 8 contains the 1p
