Deal or No Deal REVIEW on Quest 3
The contestant chooses one of 26 numbered briefcases at the start of the game. These cases, carried by twenty-six identically dressed female models, each hold a different cash amount from $0.01 to $1,000,000. On the stage is a video wall that displays the amounts still in play at any given moment. The contestant's chosen case is brought onto the stage and placed on a podium before them and the host.
In the first round, the contestant chooses six cases to eliminate from play, one at a time. Each case is opened as it is chosen, and the amount inside is removed from the board. After the sixth pick, a cordless telephone on the podium rings and the host answers it to speak with "The Banker", visible only as a silhouette, who sits in a skybox overlooking the studio. The Banker's face is never seen, and their voice is never heard. After the call ends, the host relays the Banker's offer to buy the contestant's case. The contestant can accept the offer and end the game by saying "deal" and pressing a red button on the podium, or reject it by saying "no deal" and closing a hinged cover over the button.
Each time an offer is rejected, the contestant must play another round, eliminating progressively fewer cases: five in the second round, four in the third, three in the fourth, two in the fifth. Beyond the fifth round, the contestant eliminates one case at a time, receiving a new offer from the Banker after each. The ninth and final offer comes when there are only two cases left in play: the one originally chosen by the contestant and one other. If the contestant rejects this final offer, they may either keep the chosen case or trade it for the other. The contestant receives the amount in the case taken.
The Banker's offer is typically a percentage of the average of the values still in play at the end of each round. This percentage is small in the early rounds, but increases as the game continues and can even exceed 100% in very late rounds. At times, an offer includes a prize tailored to the contestant's interests, either in addition to cash or instead of it. Also, prizes are occasionally substituted for some of the cash amounts on the board.

00:00So this is a game I found on the side quest called Deal or Not by CyberMonk and it's free.
00:20It was launched the 1st of September 2024, so it's still kind of newish.
00:27I've been crying out for game shows to come to Meta VR for over a year now as I think they can do so well.
00:34So in case you're not familiar with Deal or No Deal, the idea is at the start you will pick a briefcase from 26 cases and this one you will keep.
00:45And in each of those briefcases there is an amount of money ranging from 1 cent up to 1 million dollars.
00:53Hopefully the case you picked has a million dollars.
00:57You will then take 4 turns to pick a case and hopefully pick out and eliminate the lower amounts of money.
01:04Then the banker will call you on the telephone and offer you an amount of money based on what amounts of money are left on the board.
01:12He wants to prevent you from taking as much money as possible, so then it's up to you if you deal or no deal.
01:20If you no deal, then you pick another set amount of cases and then the banker will call you again and offer you another figure.
01:28If you make it down to the last 2 cases, you are then given an option if you want to keep the case you originally picked or if you want to swap your case with the remaining case.
01:39Hopefully you win that million.
01:42There's no multiplayer or even pass-through in this, not that it needs them.
01:47I think this is a solo only player game really, though it might be cool to have leaderboards for most amount of times a million has been won or something.
01:57Game menus. There isn't much in the way of menu share apart from if you want to use fake money or real money.
02:04And guys, never use real money.
02:07But there's no options for graphic settings or audio settings as yet.
02:12Levels and size. The studio it's set in is pretty large. It looks good.
02:18You have even got an audience behind you and a television crew.
02:22There's a line of women with briefcases down each side of you, though I think this should be a mixture of men and women.
02:29And variation would be nice like hair lengths, clothes, height.
02:33Even if they spoke a quick line to you to wish you luck, maybe have 300 phrases randomised.
02:40It could all do with improving, but it's not terrible.
02:43Controls. Controls are very simple and basic as they should be.
02:49No need to overcomplicate anything here.
02:52Mechanics. Mechanics are pretty decent.
02:56The case is open, the telephone rings.
02:59I'd like to see more movement in the people with cases and especially the host.
03:04I feel the audience also could look real, not what's kind of there now.
03:09And also because there's not really much else going on.
03:13My thoughts. I'm glad someone is attempting to make a game show and I hope it's still being developed.
03:20I really want to encourage you all to download this and try it and hopefully it will help the creator
03:26and also show other developers that there is an audience for game shows on the Quest.
03:31I hope they take off this fake money or real money option.
03:35I'm not a fan of games that ask for more money, especially with young ones who can easily fall into bad gambling habits.
03:42Now, I know this game is free and it just recently launched.
03:47And whilst the bones of this games are here, there are many improvements that can be made.
03:52Many which I've already mentioned, but I feel the colours clash quite a bit in this game.
03:57So hopefully that gets addressed.
04:00It would be good if there could be some sort of unlocking and collectible system in this game.
04:05I think most games need this so the gamer will want to keep coming back to the game.
04:11Like for every amount of money you win, it all gets collected and totaled up.
04:16Once you hit million, you get a collectible.
04:18Then maybe once you hit three million, you win another collectible and so on.
04:22Or maybe unlock funny hosts.
04:25A businesswoman host, or a tramp host, or even a chicken host.
04:29There also has to be more variation in the people holding the cases.
04:33And more animation in them, including the host and the audience.
04:37This is a great start for a game show based game.
04:40And I hope to see many more arriving in the future.
04:44Things maybe like The Cube, Wipeout, Strike It Lucky, Family Feuds, Bullseye.
04:49There are so many.
04:51Though with question-based shows, I think they would need to be done by country.
04:57As an American isn't going to know much about the UK and vice versa.
05:02But anyway, this is free.
05:05So download it and give it a go.
05:07So as it is, I mark Deal or Not a 7.4 stars.
05:13Now please hit that like button as a way of support.
05:16Then come join this growing community and hit subscribe.
05:19And help support one another in our gaming experiences.
05:23Thanks guys and happy gaming.
05:46Thanks for watching.
