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.
International versions.
Miljoenenjacht (the first version of Deal or No Deal) was actually based on a German game show called "Die Chance deines Lebens", hosted by Kai Pflaume. "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 in different countries at one time: Mandel hosted Deal or No Deal Canada while still hosting the American version, Sandarti hosted the American Spanish version while still hosting the Mexican version, and de Mol hosted Der Millionen-Deal in Germany while still hosting Miljoenenjacht in the Netherlands.
