My Wheel of Fortune Redesigned (Again)

Looks great, Rocks!

I’ve finally hosted my first game with the new rules!   It was fun, but a little disappointing at the same time. 


Contestants:
Aleena
Alex
Faith

Tossup 1: Thing

It took a while, but Aleena solved CERAMIC DALMATIAN.

Prize on Wheel: Choice between a trip to Hawaii ($7,500), Canada ($5,000), or NYC ($6,450). Wedge is labeled SHOPPING. These trips will also be available for the Prize Puzzle. 

Round 1: Before & After

This one had a lot of dud calls (The K was said by Faith.) and penalty spins. At the end, Aleena called up 3 H’s for the FREE SPIN, bought the last vowels (O & U), and the last consonant of N ($300) before solving RUSH HOUR HAND for $2,250.

Aleena: $4,250
Everyone else: Zero

Jackpot Round: Headline

Alex immediately calls dud of L on the Apple gift tag. Faith then picks up said piece with 3 H’s (iPad Pro ‘11 w/ Notability App), but loses about $1,700 in cash and iPad to BANKRUPT. Aleena picks up the prize wedge, but loses that to BANKRUPT as well and uses her FREE SPIN to keep her turn. Up next were 4 H’s and some vowel purchases before solving TORONTO RAPTORS WIN THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP for $2,700 (4 N’s were left out, unfortunately.). The amount left in Jackpot was $9,000.

Aleena: $6,950
Everyone else: Zilch

Mystery Round: Occupation (Also the Prize Puzzle)

The Mystery Prize in play was a $14,350 Chevy Spark LS (CVT).

Anyway, Faith calls up a single consonant on the Mystery next to $800. She turns down the $1,000 bribe and risks $900...it’s the car! She buys a couple of vowels after that and calls up 4 R’s on $700. After another vowel buy comes a critical dud of K to possibly let go of at least $17,550 in cash and car. Aleena does the rest of the work here and solves AIRPORT SECURITY GUARD for just $750. However, she get to choose one of the trips from that featured prize...and picks the $5,000 trip to Canada (Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside) since she confessed that she’s never been to the country before. 

Aleena: $12,700 cash & Canada
Everyone else: Gooseegg Alert

Triple Tossup: Proper Name

Alena gets TOM HOLLAND, Faith gets ZENDAYA, and Aleena gets CHRIS PRATT to start the fourth round. 

Round 4: Song Title (Full Speedup Round)

Consonants are worth $1,400 apiece. At Faith’s second turn, she calls up 3 T’s and solves WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER (High School Musical) for $4,200.

Final Scores:
Aleena: $17,700 cash & Canada
Alex: $1,000 Gooseegg
Faith: $6,700

Aleena chooses Character over Phrase and Event for her Bonus Round category. 


$100,000 BONUS ROUND

Aleena spins up to the T in FORTUNE. RSTLNE provides very limited help.

_ _ _ _ L _ _ _ _ _

MDPA also gives her very limited help as well.

_ _ _ _ L _ P _ _ _

At the last second, she guesses CLEOPATRA, which is obviously wrong. JIGGLYPUFF (from Pokémon) was the answer...







...and she is unfortunately the first player in my games to lose out on $100,000. That sends her home with $17,700 in cash and trip. 

Might as well post some simple artwork on my prize wedges/gift tags.
