Deal or No Deal

If you’re aware of any primetime TV game shows, you’ve almost certainly heard of Deal or No Deal. The classic briefcase-laden moneymaker that stars host Howie Mandel has been entertaining American households since 2005, and Dutch households long before that!

Now, you can bring all of the excitement, riches, and briefcases of Deal or No Deal into your very own home with the official Deal or No Deal video game. Step into the shoes of the game’s latest contestant so you can wheel and deal your way to an incredible payday. If outsmarting the banker and walking away with all of his money sounds good to you, then here is everything you need to know about Deal or No Deal.

Iconic Presentation

The Deal or No Deal video game will be immediately familiar to anyone who has spent any time watching the show previously. The iconic black and gold motif washes over your eyes as a digital version of host Howie Mandel walks onto the stage to greet you. Even better, he looks much more convincing than the hosts of the Wheel of Fortune video game.

While Howie’s likeness is maintained, he also voices the video game version of himself, making sure not to break the video game’s immersion. After a short introduction, Howie then welcomes his 26 lovely co-workers onto the stage with their briefcases that form the very core of the Deal or No Deal experience.

Classic Game Rules

The gameplay is the same briefcase elimination that TV viewers have been presented with for over 15 years. A digital wall has 26 different dollar amounts that range from a penny all the way up to one million dollars. These amounts directly correspond to the amounts contained within each briefcase.

It is your job as the player to take briefcases out of play one by one, and your goal is to end the game with hopefully the million-dollar case. It won’t be easy though, because the fewer cases you have on the stage, the more likely it is that you will take the higher dollar cases out of play.

Additionally, The Banker will try to convince you to walk away several times during each match so they can keep their money. Will you accept the tiny amount of money they offer you, or will you risk walking away with nothing in hope of riches?

Multiple Modes

Aside from the classic single-player experience, the Deal or No Deal video game also has a selection of extra modes to mix it up and add even more fun!
