It’s the 15th anniversary since the first ever episode of UK Deal or No Deal.. and here’s a spooky game for you! Over to Aaron, KP hosts while I play..

In the first game of the series, I didn't really deliver the goods we were looking for. Hopefully, things were about to start to get interesting!

Game 2 of the evening saw KP hosting a version of Archie's game for Archie. Same as always, the last twist that occurred has been discounted which was Classic. Archie opts for Option 4... and we're playing DEAL WHEELl! "I love a Deal Wheel" says Archie, "that brings chaos potential" says KP as he loads up all of the wheels.

Of course, we get our first wheel spin in before the game begins... and we're off with -10% OFF ALL REDS! "We can live with that" says Archie, staying optimistic as we prepare to kick off.

A reminder of the Deal Wheel Box 23:

DOUBLE
BOX 23 JACKPOT
MONEY BACK
HALF
NOTHING

Archie's Box 23 Jackpot currently stands at £40,000. Box 19 is on the table for Archie, and it's game on.

Box 1 starts us off. £225,000 gone. "You decimated all the reds and now you've taken out the biggest one anyway!"
Box 4 your next... £5
Box 7... £10!
Box 14... 10p! "Now you really have given the game a squeeze"
Box 21 is £50! "That was an annoying first box, wasn't it?" declares a visibly distraught Archie.

First offer...

BANKER'S OFFER

£5,002

... on the back of a comment about h2005's game. KP talks the offer up, Archie tries to avoid letting the scenes of Aaron's game haunt him - NO DEAL.

"Things went well for Aaron until they didn't". We're hoping that doesn't apply as we spin wheel two... LOCK-IN! That's your 14-box offer gone, though the 14-box wheel spin remains. Let's open 6 boxes (at least...)

Box 8 now... and that's £67,500! "Again, brutal damage right off the bat!"
Box 9... £500! Needed that one... "It's the worst 6-9 split the right way!"
Box 13... £250! We're bouncing back, and Archie's bracing himself for bigger and better things!

"Any board with 9 reds and 5 blues can't be bad!" Now all we need is a good Wheel 3 spin... do we? Spoiler alert, no. BANKER PEEKS 1 BOX. That's your single peek on the wings... "He has seen it, and he has smiled gently." Who knows.

Box 15 kicks off the next trio, and it's £18,000. "That's the limit that's fine" as Archie starts leaning into the game!
Box 10 is £750! "Two reds for every blue so far" says our host...
Box 3... is £1!! What a board! "This game board is fascinating" says our host-*beep*-Banker.

The Banker's coming straight in with over half of the average at 11-box. "It's not often he gets the opportunity to do so."

BANKER'S OFFER

£9,001

... in textbook KP fashion, but Archie is having none of it. NO DEAL. "That stability makes the game much easier to play!"

Surely, surely Archie is due a good spin? Here's your fourth... and it's BANKER PEEK 2 BOXES. Christ Louise. The Banker has stated he has now seen three reds, but there's no surprises when there's that many of them!

Box 17... £31,500! Far from game over at this stage, especially with the back-up!
Box 18 to follow that up. £2,700. "Honourary blue!"
Box 5 to take him to his third offer... £90,000! After a plethora of fruit comments, Archie comes in with "that round took the pith..."

The Banker says we might not be playing a big money game but we are playing a game of decisions, which is really enjoying.

BANKER'S OFFER

£5,001

Archie appreciates that given the situation... With his current set up of Box 23 and outs with the wheels, NO DEAL it is!

Wheel 5... DOUBLE TOP VALUE brings us back to a £90,000 game! What was £50k became 45 and now 90! "If you keep that to 5-box, this game will feel materially different!"

Box 20 kicks us off for Round 5... desperate for blue, HITS the £90,000 he just brought into play! "First box after the wheel gave you the hope, the game took it away. Already we're looking at 23..." "Frank, start the machine!" says an exasperated Archie!
Box 12... £900
Box 11 gives him another blue he needs, £100!

The Banker says this is an offer that really needs to be taken, though he couldn't bring himself to make an offer with three amounts lower.

BANKER'S OFFER

£4,501

"If this was a bigger stakes game, 10 times the stakes, I would seriously consider it. But because we are where we are and I'm due more luck on the wheel, AND there's a £40,000 Box 23 Jackpot - NO DEAL!"

Will the Halloween series finally give us something good after the horror of Aaron's game?

"Less upside to chase but less dangerous to chase it" points out KP as we spin Wheel 6... SWAP OR NO SWAP! Final offer, gone. "There's a fair chance that could be immaterial!" Though what a board to get that on.

Archie's asked for a quickie, move you along move you along move you along... 2's your £9,000... 6's your £13,500... 16 is £4,500. This really is a night of nightmares. The Banker would've offered £4,501 & No Box 23 but can't...

We swap for Box 22 and Archie takes forward to Box 23... 50p! Box 19 had the penny...

... and now our hopes are pinned on Box 23...

DOUBLE (£1)
BOX 23 JACKPOT (£40,000.50)
MONEY BACK (50p)
HALF (25p)
NOTHING

Obvious Deal is obvious, jokes about Abernethy biscuits are made because KP is a thing that happened. Option 2 up please... and he leaves with NOTHING. A dour evening just got a whole lot worse.

The pressure is now on KP to deliver a game that has an ounce of the drama we had hoped for from this trio of games! We'll see that tomorrow!

That was entirely too easy. Would've dealt at 5-box, but been no better off because I'd have bought 23 with that stake level too.

Spoiler alert - I don't win less than Archie!!
