Family Challenge DVD Game : 19th Nov '07







If you have better images or other videos and info please post it here. Really looking forward to all three of these pieces of merchandise, but for now we can discuss them in this topic!

We know the DS game comes out mid-November, about the 12th I think.

The family challenge game I think will be a must for stocking-fillers.

whats this Family challenge?

And DoND on DS. Frankly anything on anything made by Nintendo is crap.

i have put the dates, the pc game is unsure, but the ds is due out on the 9th november


the family challenge is a new dvd game featuring season two players. it will obviously be faster to choose boxes this time. the ds game isnt made by nintendo, i have posted the video and it looks good.

22 identical sealed boxes, in one of which is a quarter of a million pounds. Welcome to Deal or No Deal Family Challenge.
Welcome to the interactive Dream Factory, Deal or No Deal Family Challenge. Have you watched at home wondering how you`d fair in the crazy chair? Well this is your chance to find out!

Introducing brand new game play, for the first time ever you can play together with your family and friends to beat The Banker. Here`s your chance to prove you`ve got what it takes, but will you make the right deal at the right time?

Host Noel Edmonds guides you through each stage where along the way you have the option to personalise your own game. You can ask advice from your favourite contestants from the show, ask The Banker a question or for an insightful poem as well as trying out the brand new lucky dip feature.

It`s your show, it`s your game - have you got what it takes to Beat The Banker?

it'll probably come out very close to that actually...i just hope he doesn't virtually repeat himself like he does in DVD game 1. And if the new DVD game is out on 12/10/07, that's next friday.

no, dan, the pc game may come out next friday, the dvd game isnt out till the 19th november.

I'll most probably get the DVD and possibly DS game. I got last year's DVD but it drove me crazy with being so slow.

i expect they learnt from the comments from last years dvd game and made the selection process faster : it drove me mad too! now i only play it starting at 1 consecutively.

the pc game looks awesome because it will the most versatile.

cant wait!

Yeah hopefully all the boxes will be on one screen that you can choose from. I mean surely people tested the DVD last year before release and realised its slowness.

yeah, they should have noticed that. i expect this one will be much faster. im looking forward to the other two as much, if not more.

Yes, hopefully that will be random unlike the DVD game. Computer software can handle generating random sequences better than DVD players can.

I'd imagine that they may be wanting to produce more merchandise now, what with the LTL going - they'll probably want to get money somehow and I'm sure releasing even more merchandise would be one way, especially as the show is so popular now. It'd be good to have stuff like the DOND mug and maybe mini replica boxes on keyrings or something... I'm surprised they haven't released them, to be honest.

Bussiness want to make the maxium amount of money all the time, the LTL going would make obsolutly no difference!

That's the point I'm making... Endemol no longer have the LTL as a method of generating revenue, so may be more keen on producing more DOND merchandise as a way to generate income, now that income from the LTL has been lost.

Not at all, they said they were taking a break.

As long as the enquiry lasts though, ay?

Noel said they were "taking a break", but I think in reality, that'll be a permanent break. Especially as C4 released a statement saying they'd be (presumably permanently) stopping all phone-in competitions on their programmes.

I don't think they'll allow a cash-cow like that disappear forever. When the hue and cry has died down and there is some other scandal to concentrate on they'll re-introduce it. My bet is early next year.

i think youre right there basicasic, but could we please get back on topic? the pc game could be coming out in two days! it looks awesome but we have no info yet.

i have found more info about the pc game at last! http://www.gameseek.co.uk/pd/PCt03qm4cy ... or-No-Deal

and some about the ds, but it says 24 boxes instead of 22 which is a mistake on the page http://www.gameseek.co.uk/pd/NintendoDS ... r-No-Deal#



cant wait for them both!

EDIT: oops, sorry for the double post

ANOTHER EDIT: play.com now have lots of info if you search deal or no deal and click on the pc game, but bizzarely they now quote 2nd nov as the release date. so the pc game is coming on either: 12 Oct 07, 26 Oct 07, 2 Nov 07 or 9 Nov 07. very confusing. anyway im checking the real release date with focus multimedia who make the game, so ill let you know when i find out the true release date
