International versions of Deal or No Deal

Last updated

Deal or No Deal is an international game show franchise created by Dick de Rijk and John de Mol Jr for the Dutch company Endemol. The player picks one of several cases or boxes to keep, each containing a sum of money, then eliminates the others from the game. The Banker then tries to buy the player's case or box for as little money as possible. The player then answers the titular question, "Deal or No Deal?". In other words, they have to decide whether to accept the Banker's offer and end the game or reject it and play on, hoping their case or box contains more than the offer.

The first appearance of the game was on the Dutch game show Miljoenenjacht in 2002. Since then, Deal or No Deal has been adapted by 84 countries and territories. [1]

The first German version, Die Chance deines Lebens hosted by Kai Pflaume did not have the case game as the final round (they played a trivia game instead). However this was the show the original "Deal or No Deal" version (the Dutch Miljoenenjacht hosted by Linda de Mol) was actually based on. Miljoenenjacht started in November 2000 and introduced the case game in December 2002 after a 15-month hiatus of the show.

Howie Mandel, Héctor Sandarti, and Linda de Mol each have hosted multiple versions of the show: Mandel, with the American English and Canadian English versions, Sandarti with both the American Spanish and Mexican Spanish versions, and de Mol with both the Netherlands Dutch and German (in 2004) versions of the show.
