Playing the 10th game of my series is ARCHIE and he has been assigned BOX 1 at random.

As a reminder, the rules have been slightly modified starting with this game, which can be seen here: viewtopic.php?f=112&t=27149

Today's featured ZONK is a MOBILE PHONE:



(And yes, I am reusing ZONKs until they are won from now on )

So Archie, with a potential £5,000,000 up for grabs, please choose for first five boxes when you're ready!

Here goes!

2, 12, 22, 21 and 3 please

(I'm somewhat tempted to post a fake all Power 5 opening round, but pretty much everyone on the forum would see right through it )

2- £50,000

12- £1,000

22- 1p

21- £50

3- £1

MUCH better opening round than Jean's!

The Banker says that wasn't a bad opening round at all, but with the new rules he doesn't want to offer players an easy escape at the first two offers as he wants to look inside every contestant's box! Therefore, expect him to be half as generous as he normally would be at this stage.

With that in mind, it's time to predict your opening offer. Get within 10% and +£10,000 will be added to the Box 23 jackpot, but get it wrong and you'll get a BRAIN BUSTER in place of predicting the next offer.

BANKER'S OFFER

£6,000

You're in 10% band of £5,400 to £6,600, so the Box 23 jackpot now stands at £20,000.

So, £6,000, Deal or No Deal?

Also, please choose your next 3 boxes.

Proper job!

13, 20 and 5 please

I'll take that as a NO DEAL.

13- £35,000

20- £10,000

5- £250,000

Terrible sting in the tail there.

** RING **

The Banker says this is THE EASIEST GAME SHOW EVER, and yet players can't even do simple thing like giving me a number between 1 and 5 or even answer Deal or No Deal when asked.

The Banker says he was just going to halve the offer, but now he's going to give you a VERY hard offer to predict.

Please give me your prediction.

You didn't ASK me for a number 1-5.

I'll say..

PLAYER'S PREDICTION

£1,700

And anyway, I don't need to give a number now!

** RING **

Yes, he specifically changed the rules so players have to choose a number between 1 and 5 throughout the game, but you didn't even say Deal or No Deal to the last offer.

BANKER'S OFFER

£600

Sadly, you didn't get the Banker's hint, as the new game show THE EASIEST GAME SHOW EVER takes a 0 off the end of your winnings whenever you give a wrong answer in the final round.

This means you miss out on the BONUS box, and another ZONK will replace 10p on the board. That ZONK is a DRAGON CAR:



So, £600, Deal or No Deal?

No Deal.

7, 10 and 17

And in case I've got to say a number i'll go for 3

** RING **

The Banker says you completely misunderstood him. He was referring to PREVIOUS games when rambling about people not giving numbers between 1 and 5. With the new rules, you don't have to give me any numbers between 1 and 5 until the FINAL offer.

Anyway, let's continue with the game.

7- £20,000

10- £75,000

17- DRAGON CAR

A VERY mixed round, leaving you with this board:

Now it's time for the first pivotal prediction of the game. If you are within 10%, you will have the OFFER BUTTON. However, if are not within 10%, the BANKER PEEKS inside all of the remaining boxes.

** RING **

The Banker can assure you that despite having a one box game, this is a proper offer for the board.

Let's hope the Banker has offered between £3,000 and £3,666:



** RING **

The Banker says he's just looked into your box and the box containing £100,000, and he's confident this is your last opportunity to leave with significant money.

He's not changing the offer, though.

So, £4,000, Deal or No Deal?

No Deal.

18, 16 and 6

Let's see if the Banker was right.

16-

** RING **

The Banker says this really is THE EASIEST GAME EVER................. for him.

It's now time to predict your 4th offer. Get within 10% and the Box 23 jackpot will DOUBLE to a massive £40,000, but if you are not within 10% it will be cut in HALF and be worth £10,000.

BANKER'S OFFER

£400

Sadly, you AGAIN missed his reference to The Easiest Game Show Ever.

As a result, the Box 23 jackpot has been cut in HALF to £10,000.

Still £400 is a good offer given the state of the board, and should you go on another round you could lose the £10,000 Box 23 jackpot to a BANKRUPT.

However, if you predict the next offer correctly, you will get a MINI-GAME which could win you as much as £1,000,000 if you're extremely lucky.

So, £400, Deal or No Deal?

No Deal.

Boxes 9, 8 and 4

Let's hope these next 3 boxes leaves you with SOMETHING to play for.

9- £10

8- £5

4-

** RING **

The Banker says he wants to slap you in the hand after that round.

Now, this is without question the most important prediction of the game. Get it right and you could win tens of thousands of pounds from a MINI-GAME, but get it wrong and the BANKRUPT will leave you with even less to work with. What is your all-important prediction?
