Miljoenenjacht (Belgian game show)

Miljoenenjacht (Dutch pronunciation: [mɪlˈjunə(n)jɑxt]; English: Hunt for Millions) is the Belgian version of Deal or No Deal. It aired on VTM, debuting on October 16, 2004.[1] It was hosted by Walter Grootaers, with a top prize was 1,000,000. A second season premiered on October 15, 2005.[2] The show later moved to VijfTV, which produced the Flanders version of Deal or No Deal under the title Te Nemen of Te Laten.

Quiz rounds

The game show consisted of five rounds.[2]

Preliminary rounds

The first three rounds in the show are the same as the Dutch version, although that there are only 300 contestants divided into six blocks, labeled from A to F. Then one of the eliminated contenders from the remaining 275 is chosen at random, and the player has given an option to take a valuable prize to leave the game or proceed to Round 4.

Round 4 and round 5

26 contestants in Round 4 have to answer eight multiple-choice questions. If a contestant answers correctly, they receive one point for each other player who answered incorrectly. Wrong answers are worth nothing. Two contenders with highest points advance to Round 5.

In Round 5, two remaining contestants face each other and they have given an option to leave the game with a valuable prize. If none accepted the offer, the host will ask a math question to determine the one will go to the final.

Final

The winner in Round 5 chooses one of 26 briefcases which contain the values from 0.01 to €1,000,000 to keep until the end of the game. The other 25 each hold one of the remaining briefcase and guesses the amount in the case when the contestant chooses it. Correct guesses receives €100 for each unopened case remaining.

The final is the case-picking game similar to the Dutch version and many franchises of Deal or No Deal worldwide.

Te Nemen of Te Laten

Later in its run, the show switched networks, moving to VijfTV. The VijfTV edition, which is the Flanders version of Deal or No Deal, was broadcast under the title, Te Nemen of Te Laten. Its host was "Felice". The top prize was €200,000, and the prize money was shared with a randomly selected premium line caller. However, this version was cancelled after the death of Felice in October 2009.
