Miljoenenjacht
as a game format
The main player opens briefcase after briefcase, receives an offer in between and has to choose: accept or play on. The room shouts along, and that is half the game.
How the Miljoenenjacht game works
In the Miljoenenjacht game, participants from the room each hold a closed briefcase containing an amount of game points. The main player has briefcases opened and so sees which amounts disappear from the game. In between, an offer comes in, and a choice has to be made: accept the offer or gamble that your own briefcase is worth more.
This is our own game format, inspired by the well-known television format. We hold no licence for it and are not affiliated with the broadcaster or the producer.
- We bring the briefcases, sound and presentation
- Played for game points, no money is paid out
- The room holds the briefcases and shouts along
- Lasts forty-five minutes to an hour per round
Knowledge plays no part
Knowledge plays no part at all in this game format, which sets it apart from almost everything else we do. In a quiz you know within two rounds who is the smartest, and the rest start to lose interest. Here everyone has exactly the same chance, from the intern to the director, and that makes it one of the few formats in which a mixed group is truly on an equal footing.
What creates the tension is the decision, not the answer. A whole room shouting that someone should accept the offer while that person carries on is something that stays with people for weeks. If you want a format in which knowledge does count, take a look at 1 tegen 100 or the pub quiz.
What is needed in the room
For the Miljoenenjacht game you need a room where the audience faces the front and where the briefcase holders can stand along the side or at the front. We also need power and a wall or screen to project onto, so everyone can see which amounts are still in the game.
We set up well before the start and take everything down afterwards, and that time doesn't count towards the length of the programme. If you don't have a suitable room yourselves, we'll make sure a hall is ready that fits the size of the group.
A compact set-up starts at €195. After the first conversation you'll get a firm price.
The television programme this game format refers to is owned by its makers and the broadcaster. AvonturenEvents is not affiliated with them and holds no licence for it. We develop our own game format and only mention the title so it is clear what kind of game you can expect.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official television programme?
No. This is AvonturenEvents' own game format, inspired by the well-known television format. We hold no licence for it and are not affiliated with the broadcaster or the producer. The briefcases, the amounts and the rules are ours.
Is real money paid out?
No money is paid out in this game format. The amounts in the briefcases are game points, nothing more. There is no stake and no payout, so it is a game format and not gambling. If you want to attach a prize to it, you arrange that yourselves, or we bring something that fits the theme.
How many people take an active part?
One participant plays the leading role and the rest of the room holds the briefcases and helps decide. This keeps everyone involved without a hundred people needing to take a turn at once. With larger groups we run two rounds with two main players, so more people come to the front.
How long does this game format last?
Allow forty-five minutes to an hour for one full round, including the build-up of tension at the end. That makes it a good building block within a longer programme rather than something that fills a whole evening. We often combine it with a quiz or a dinner.
